Nanoindentation experiments with a Berkovich tip are performed on zirconium based bulk metallic glass (Zr-BMG, Zr65Cu15Al10Ni10) to study its deformation and mechanical properties (elastic modulus and hardness) at nanoscale. Further to reveal indentation-size effect (ISE), the influence of loading rate and peak and cyclic loads on evaluated nanomechanical properties are investigated in detail. The loading rate has significant effect on serration flow (pop-in), which gets predominant at higher loads. According to the Oliver-Pharr method, hardness becomes peak load-independent, whereas elastic modulus increases with the load. The same phenomenon is observed with sinus and progressive multicycle indentation methods. However, observation of significant pile-up (the ratio of elastic and total energy We/Wt ≈ 0.33
