摘要/Abstract

摘要： 非晶/玻璃等非平衡态材料在能量驱动下会逐渐“老化”（ageing），体积和能量状态逐渐降低，这是非平衡态材料的本征特征之一。不同于“老化”的自然演化规律，记忆效应是指非晶合金经历先低温再高温两步退火时，焓或体积会先增加而后降低至平衡态。如果材料或体系达到热平衡态，初态和历史的记忆将被彻底遗忘。半个世纪以来，人们对记忆效应的理解局限于诸如Tool-Narayanaswamy-Moynihan（TNM）模型等唯象层面，对其物理起源仍不清楚。通过研究非晶合金在单步和两步退火中的弛豫规律，发现非晶合金中存在从β弛豫向α弛豫的等温转变现象，并进一步发现大激活熵是触发记忆效应的关键。这些结果对理解玻璃等非平衡态材料的物理本质和精准调控其性能具有重要意义。

Abstract: The enthalpy and volume of materials in metastable states, such as amorphous materials and glasses, always decay simultaneously through an energy-driven process called ‘‘ageing’’. This is one of the intrinsic characteristics of non-equilibrium systems. As opposed to the common monotonic relaxation process of ageing, the memory effect describes an isothermal annealing experiment, in which the enthalpy/volume of a pre-annealed glass first increases before finally decreasing towards equilibrium. If the system reaches its equilibrium state, its memory to the past states will vanish thoroughly. For the past half century, phenomenological models such as the Tool-Narayanaswamy-Moynihan (TNM) model have been used to describe the memory effect, but its underlying physical mechanismsare still not clear. In this paper, the relaxation kinetics in single and two-temperature annealing processes was studied. According to our research, there was a transition from β relaxation to α relaxation in amorphous alloys during isothermal annealing. We further discovered that a large activation entropy (S*) is the key factor to trigger on the memory effect. These results open a gate for understanding the physical origin of non-equilibrium systems and precisely modifying their properties.
