Compression-Induced Polycrystal-Glass Transition in Binary Crystals

A polycrystal will transform into a glass when its grain size is sufficiently reduced. However, it is not clear how the polycrystal-glass boundary can be identified, whether the boundary is a sharp point or a crossover regime, and what features exist at this boundary. These questions have rarely bee...
