Abstract

The low-temperature specific heats of Zr\(_{52.5}\)Cu\(_{17.9}\)Ni\(_{14.6}\)Al\(_{10}\)Ti\(_{5}\) metallic glass and its corresponding crystallized alloy are studied from 3 to 53 K. The effects of crystallization on the specific heat and boson peak of these alloys are discussed. In analyzing the experimental data, in addition to the contribution of the Debye mode and Einstein modes, the origin of the boson peak is interpreted using the harmonic localized modes based on the vibrations of loose “rattler” atoms in the oversized cage structures. The results are useful to understand the structure–property relationship of metallic glasses at low temperature.
