Abstract

The Debye temperature and glass transition temperature of a variety of bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) were determined by acoustic measurement and differential scanning calorimetry, respectively. The relationship between the Debye temperature and glass transition temperature of these BMGs was analyzed, and their observed correlation was interpreted in terms of the characteristics of the glass transition in BMGs.
