Editorial for the Special Issue on amorphous alloys and multiscale materials: fundamental aspects and energy applications.

This document is an editorial for a special issue of the European Physical Journal - Applied Physics on amorphous alloys and multiscale materials. Amorphous alloys are a type of metallic material that lack long-range ordering in three-dimensional space but are short-range ordered. They have high isotropic strength, hardness, and resistance to wear and corrosion. Multiscale materials have tunable chemical and physical properties that make them suitable for various applications such as catalysis, energy storage, and electronics. The research on amorphous alloys focuses on their constituent and forming ability, as well as their structural order evolution and basic properties. The special issue includes papers that discuss recent achievements and progress in the field, with a focus on dynamic and mechanical modes, surface states, and stress relief. The document also highlights the research direction and features of the College of Materials Science and Engineering at Changchun University of Technology, which includes amorphous alloys and multiscale materials. The authors hope that this special issue will contribute to further understanding and development in these areas. [Extracted from the article]
