Fig. 3: Evolution of stress memory effect with annealing time for three glasses.

a TiZrHfCuNiBe high-entropy MG at 593 K with \({\varepsilon }_{1}=0.5\%\) and \({\varepsilon }_{2}=0.3\%\), b (Fe11Zr1)91.2B8.8 MG at 597 K with \({\varepsilon }_{1}=0.4\%\) and \({\varepsilon }_{2}=0.2\%\), and c PVC polymer glass at 318 K with \({\varepsilon }_{1}=0.5\%\) and \({\varepsilon }_{2}=0.3\%\). The solid curves correspond to KWW fitting. The strength of the memory effect (\(\Delta \sigma\)) as a function of tw are shown in d–f accordingly. The blue shaded area highlights the fast increase of memory strength \(\Delta \sigma\). Error bars represent standard deviations. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
