See the paper for full methods, parameters, and analysis choices.

What this dataset contains--------------------------Molecular‑dynamics (LAMMPS) samples of Cu–Zr(–Al) metallic glasses, prepared by quenching from 2000 K to 300 K ata specified cooling rate, then deformed via athermal quasistatic shear (AQS) at T = 300 K while recording stress–strainresponses and stress‑drop statistics.

Top‑level layout----------------Cu30Zr70_10_12/Cu37Zr37Al26_10_12/Cu40Zr40Al20_10_12/Cu45Zr45Al10_10_12/Cu47Zr47Al06_10_12/Cu50Zr50_10_11/Cu50Zr50_10_12/Cu50Zr50_10_13/Cu50Zr50_10_14/Cu50Zr50_10_15/Cu70Zr30_10_12/figure/

Naming convention-----------------Cu{CuPct}Zr{ZrPct}[Al{AlPct}]_10_{NN}

• Composition is given in atomic percent (e.g., Cu47Zr47Al06 → Cu47% Zr47% Al6%).• The suffix “10_{NN}” encodes the cooling rate Ṫ = 10^{NN} K/s (e.g., “10_12” → 10^12 K/s; “10_14” → 10^14 K/s).  – Multiple rates exist for Cu50Zr50 (10_11 … 10_15). Other compositions are at 10_12 K/s.

Inside each composition/rate folder-----------------------------------1/ 2/ … 100/        ← independent replicate runs (distinct initial configurations/seeds).

Typical per‑run contents (filenames may vary by workflow)---------------------------------------------------------• stress–strain data (e.g., stress_strain.*)• identified stress drops / intervals (e.g., drops.*)• LAMMPS logs and metadata (e.g., log.lammps, metadata.json if present)• optional atomistic dumps/snapshots (e.g., dump.*)

Coverage summary----------------At Ṫ = 10^12 K/s:  Cu30Zr70, Cu70Zr30, Cu47Zr47Al06, Cu45Zr45Al10, Cu40Zr40Al20, Cu37Zr37Al26.Cu50Zr50 at multiple Ṫ: 10^11, 10^12, 10^13, 10^14, 10^15 K/s.

Methodological notes (see paper for details)--------------------------------------------• Engine: LAMMPS with EAM potential for Cu–Zr(–Al). Hybrid MD+MC (VC‑SGC) used to target compositions.• Quench: 2000 K → 300 K at the rate encoded in the folder name; zero external pressure.• AQS: incremental shear with δγ = 1e‑4; stress–strain recorded per increment.• Stress‑drop detection: consecutive decreasing‑stress segments; drops < 1e‑4 GPa discarded.• System sizes used in the paper include N ≈ 6k (main), plus size‑effects at 3k/12k/24k atoms.• Figure folders contain data used for figures
