Irreversible structural relaxation of bulk amorphous Zr52.5Ti5Cu17.9Ni14.6Al10 was studied by means of logarithmic decrement and shear modulus measurements using an inverse torsion pendulum in the frequency range from 5 Hz to 40 Hz. Irreversible contributions to the decrement and shear modulus and their frequency, temperature, and time dependences were investigated. The activation energy spectrum of irreversible structural relaxation has been reconstructed. It has been shown that irreversible structural relaxation can be regenerated by a special heat treatment. The results obtained are discussed within the framework of a phenomenological model, which implies existence of two-well relaxation centers in the glass structure.

The work is devoted to a brief overview of the Interstitialcy Theory (IT) as applied to different relaxation phenomena occurring in metallic glasses upon structural relaxation and crystallization. The basic hypotheses of the IT and their experimental verification are shortly considered. The main focus is given on the interpretation of recent experiments on the heat effects, volume changes and their link with the shear modulus relaxation. The issues related to the development of the IT and its relationship with other models on defects in metallic glasses are discussed.
