STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF METALLIC GLASSES WITH CO...

This book introduces the application of computational homology for structural analysis of
metallic glasses. Metallic glasses  relatively new materials in the field of metals  are the
next-generation structural and functional materials owing to their excellent properties. To
understand their properties and to develop novel metallic glass materials  it is necessary to
uncover their atomic structures which have no periodicity  unlike crystals. Although many
experimental and simulation studies have been performed to reveal the structures  it is
extremely difficult to perceive a relationship between structures and properties without an
appropriate point of view  or language. The purpose here is to show how a new approach using
computational homology gives a useful insight into the interpretation of atomic structures. It
is noted that computational homology has rapidly developed and is now widely applied for
various data analyses. The book begins with a brief basic survey of metallic glasses and
computational homology  then goes on to the detailed procedures and interpretation of
computational homology analysis for metallic glasses. Understandable and readable information
for both materials scientists and mathematicians is also provided.
