The valence band (VB) structure of an Al
0.5 TiZrPdCuNi high-entropy alloy (HEA) obtained using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy has been compared to that recently calculated by Odbadrakh et al. [J. Appl. Phys. 126, 095104 (2019)]. Both the experimental and theoretical VBs show a split-band structure, typical for alloys consisting of the early (TE) and late (TL) transition metals. Accordingly, several electronic structure (ES) properties of this alloy, both in the glassy and crystalline state, are compared with those of similar TE-TL alloys. The comparison shows a strong effect of alloying with Al on the density of states at the Fermi level, N(EF ), and on the magnetic susceptibility of Al0.5 TiZrPdCuNi HEA, similar to that in conventional glassy alloys, such as Zr-Cu-Al ones. Despite some similarity in the theoretical and experimental density of states of the VBs, there are significant differences between them, which should be taken into account in any future studies of ES in HEAs and other compositionally complex alloys.

In this article, we describe the characterization of a newly fabricated amorphous alloy system (TiZrNbCu)
1−x Cox covering a broad composition range from high-entropy (HEA) to Co-rich alloys (x ≤ 0.43). We investigated thermal stability, atomic and electronic structure, and magnetic and mechanical properties as a function of chemical composition x. One of the important findings is that all studied properties change their dependence on concentration x within the HEA range. In particular, it has been found that the average atomic volume deviates from Vegard's law for x > 0.2, the concentration for which the average atomic packing fraction suddenly changes. The valence band structure, studied with ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy, shows a split-band shape with 3d-states of Co approaching the Fermi level on increasing x. Due to the onset of magnetic correlations, magnetic susceptibility rapidly increases for x > 0.25. Very high microhardness increases rapidly with x. The results are compared with those for similar binary and quinary metallic glasses and with those for Cantor type of crystalline alloys. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

HEA, glassy alloys, Cantor alloys - Abstract
Despite a huge expansion of research on compositionally complex alloys, CCA (such as the entropy alloys, HEA and the corresponding glassy alloys) their comprehension is still limited, which is detrimental both for the design of CCAs and for their application. The broad compositional range in CCAs enables simple tuning of their properties by varying the contents of their constituent elements. Accordingly, the study of transition from CCA to conventional alloy, CA composed from the same constituents is important, both for understanding the formation of solid solutions in CCAs and for proper evaluation of their potential with respect to that of CAs. However, this transition has so far been studied systematically in only two types of alloys: isopleths of the Cantor alloy and glassy TiZrNbCuNi/Co alloys with variable Co, Ni or Cu content (Materials 14 (2021) 5824 and ref. therein). In both alloy systems the variation of a given property with composition depends sharply on the selected principal component and can be either monotonic (like that in the ideal solid solution) or non-monotonic. When the variation is non- monotonic, the maximum value of the selected property is usually outside of HEA composition range.

Compositionally complex alloys, High-entropy alloys ,Electronic structure - Abstract
Despite a huge expansion of research on compositionally complex alloys, CCA (such as the approximately equimolar, multi-component high- entropy alloys, HEA and the corresponding high- entropy glassy alloys), their basic understanding is still limited, which is detrimental both for the design of CCAs and for their application. In particular, the prediction of compositions capable of forming random solid solutions (RSSs) and the prediction of their properties is still a problem. Nevertheless, some properties of a few CCAs exceed those of conventional alloys (CA) [1].

U ovom radu su termodinamički istražena dva sustava metalnih stakala, binarni NiZr i ternarni CuHfTi. Binarnom Ni_23Zr_77 prethodno proizvedenom na Prirodno-matematičkom fakultetu Univerziteta u Sarajevu, provjerena je homogenost, kemijski sastav, struktura, termička stabilnost i mikrotvrdoća. Sustav Cu_55Hf_45-xTi_x (x=0, 5, ..., 45) je već bio prethodno karakteriziran na ovaj način. Na uzorcima oba sustava je izmjeren toplinski kapacitet (C_p) od 2 K do sobne temperature. Iz mjerenja toplinskog kapaciteta su određeni odgovarajući niskotemperaturni termodinamički parametri i ispitana je njihova korelacija sa sposobnošću stakljenja metalnih stakala (GFA - Glass Forming Ability). Bozonski vršak (BP - Boson Peak), koji se inače definira kao višak vibracijskih stanja na niskim frekvencijama u odnosu na fononski spektar kristala i kod mjerenja C_p-a se registrira kao široko ispupčenje u ovisnosti C_p/T^3 vs. T na temperaturama oko 10 K, kod uzorka Ni_23Zr_77 nije detektiran. Zagrijavanjem uzorka različitim brzinama određivana su staklišta iz kojih je određen njegov indeks fragilnosti. Dobijeni rezultati su neuobičajeni i znatno se razlikuju od očekivanih, zašto je u radu ponuđeno i odgovarajuće mikroskopsko objašnjenje. Za sustav CuHfTi je uočeno skaliranje amplitude BP-a s Debyevim doprinosom, dok su niskotemperaturni parametri C_p-a i intenzitet BP-a pokazali linearnu ovisnost s udjelom titana, bez korelacije s GFA. In this thesis we investigated two systems of metallic glasses, binary NiZr and ternary CuHfTi. The binary NiZr system had been produced at the Faculty of Science in Sarajevo and it was investigated for its homogeneity, chemical composition, structure, thermal stability and microhardness, while Cu_55Hf_45-xTi_x (x=0, 5, ..., 45) system had already been examined by the same methods. Samples of both systems were examined by measurement of the heat capacity (C_p) in temperature range from 2 K to room temperature. Low temperature C_p parameters were determined and their relationship with glass forming ability (GFA) was checked. C_p of amorphous materials at sufficiently low temperature deviates from the Debye T^3 law with two major anomalies: almost linear contribution to the C_p below 1 K and a wide peak approximately at 10 K called boson peak (BP). Boson peak (BP) can be defined as an excess of low energy vibrational density of states compared to phonon contribution. A BP has been attributed to the localized vibrations, vibrations of medium range structures, localized defects, hybridization with localized vibrations. . . . On the other hand, BP has been attributed to Van Hove singularities in low-lying transverse acoustic phonon branch which produce similar excess contribution in crystalline materials. A BP was not observed in Ni_23Zr_77. The sample Ni_23Zr_77 was heated at different heating rates in order to detect the glass transition temperature and determine the fragility parameter. The obtained results are unusual, but we offer an appropriate microscopic explanation. The free volume can be reduced and therefore eliminate BP what can be achieved by slow cooling during the production process. In Ni_23Zr_77 the estimated cooling rate (h) is quite high, barely lower than typical h for melt spinning. We can tentatively suggest that the cooling rate close to h_c ~10^4 K/s is responsible for lack of BP. The results of our analysis show that in CuHfTi metallic glasses C_p parameters, position and amplitude of the BP exhibit monotonous dependence on the Ti content while the amplitude of BP scales with the amplitude of Debye contribution what may indicate that BP in this system is related to Van Hove singularity equivalent in glasses. Finally, it may be concluded that BP in metallic glasses of early and late transition metals does not reflect the glass forming ability of the alloys.

Metallic glasses, Heat capacity, Boson peak - Abstract
We have studied low temperature specific heat (LTSH) in different glass-forming metallic alloys: binary marginal glasses ZrNi [1], bulk metallic glasses CuHfTi [2] and high entropy metallic glasses TiZrNbCuNi(Co) [3]. The results concerning so-called boson peak (BP) contribution to the density of vibrational states in excess to the Debye contribution are quite varied between these alloys. While Zr77Ni23 does not show BP, in Cu55Hf45- xTix its position and amplitude vary monotonously with the Ti content, Fig. 1. In TiZrNbCuNi(Co) alloys with multiple principle elements, the position of BP scales roughly with the Debye temperature, while its amplitude shows more complex behaviour. We discuss these results in respect of the intrinsic differences between these alloys [4] and in the view of different theories of BP, see e.g. [5, 6]. [1] A. Salčinović Fetić et al., Phys. Rev.

TEM Journal; Vol 5, No 3, 2016. ISSN 2217-8309, This paper presents the results of an extensive research of partially crystalline Zr77Ni23 metallic glass (indicated numbers refer to atomic percentages). The partially crystalline Zr77Ni23 samples were prepared by melt-spinning using a device constructed in the Metal Physics Laboratory, Faculty of Science in Sarajevo. XRD pattern shows crystalline peaks which correspond to an orthorhombic structure of Zr3Ni superimposed on an amorphous pattern. Homogeneity and chemical composition were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Crystallization was studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). DSC analysis indicated a simple thermally activated process. Overall activation energy of the crystallization was calculated using Kissinger's model for nonisothermal process and compared with those given by the Augis-Bennett model. By monitoring of the electrical resistance in the temperature range 80 – 270 K a small and negative thermal coefficient of electrical resistance was observed. This means that electrical resistance varies slightly with temperature and it makes this metallic glass suitable for application in electronic circuits for which this property is an important requirement.

metalna stakla, sposobnost ostakljivanja - Abstract
We have investigated correlation between thermodynamic parameters given by low- temperature heat capacity (Cp) measurements and glass forming ability (GFA) of NiZr and CuHfTi metallic glasses. Cp of metallic glasses at sufficiently low temperature deviates from the Debye T3 law with a very well known anomaly named Boson peak (BP) which can be observed as a wide peak in Cp/T3(K) approximately at 10 K. Cp measurements were conducted in wide temperature range from 1.8 K to 300 K for as cast and relaxed Ni23Zr77 and Cu55Hf45-xTix (x=0, 5, ... and 45) samples. BP, given as subtraction of the measured Cp and sum of the Debye phonon and electronic contributions, surprisingly in NiZr sample having a low GFA was not detected [1]. Low temperature phonon and electronic contributions to Cp of CuHfTi system depend monotonically on Ti concentration (x), same as reported before [2], but BP has pronounced maximum for Ti concentrations with enhanced GFA. Finally, we can conclude that GFA can be related with low temperature properties of alloys and the strength of BP could be a measure of GFA for metallic glasses produced under the same conditions [3].

Metallic glasses ,Magnetic susceptibility ,Compounds - Abstract
The formation of transition metal compounds (TC) in selected devitrified high-entropy (HE) and conventional metallic glasses (MG) has been studied by using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and magnetic susceptibility (χ) measurements. The alloys selected were Al0.5TiZrPdCuNi [1], (TiZrNbL)1-xMx (L = Cu, Ni ; M = Fe, Co, Ni, Cu) [2] HEMGs, as well as conventional binary and ternary MGs containing early (TE) and late (TL) transition metals, such as the Ti, Zr, Hf – L [3] and Zr-Cu-Al alloys. Such study provides a comparison between the crystallization patterns in TE-TL HEMGs and these in conventional MGs with the same constituents, which can help to understand the differences in glass forming ability (GFA) between HEMGs and conventional MGs [2, 3]. The measurements of χ on both as-cast and crystallized alloys provide an insight into the changes of electronic structure (ES) accompanying transition from amorphous to crystalline (TCs) state, which seem to determine GFA of TE-TL alloys [3]. Further, the values of χ for crystallized alloys, χc, enable in principle the determination of χc values corresponding to particular TCs. These χc (TC) values in addition to giving an insight into contribution of given TC to ES also enable the determination of the fractions of TCs in a given alloy. This is important for a quantitative analysis of the phase contents in alloys in which the crystalline texture make the determination of phase contents from XRD less accurate. Wherever possible we compare and combine our data with the results from literature. _____________________________________________ ∗ This work was supported by UNAM-DGAPA-PAPIIT project No. IN101016 and Osijek University project IZIP2016-3. † [1] A.

Pulsed laser deposition ,Potassium blue bronze ,Thin films ,Deposition parameters - Abstract
Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) has become the most important technique for the production of new materials with complex stoichiometry and multilayered structures. In this paper we present parameters that influence the production of K0.3MoO3 (KBB) thin films by PLD. KBB is a quasi-one-dimensional (q-1D) conductor that exhibits transition to a new ground state of charge density wave (CDW) below a transition temperature Tp. It is considered to be a “canonical“ CDW system and its properties have been extensively researched in bulk. In recent years, production of KBB thin films has enabled investigation of CDW properties in the conditions of reduced dimensionality. Choice of deposition parameters highly influences production of the films and therefore it is essential to investigate it in order to obtain high quality films. This investigation enables one to determine optimal conditions for the production of KBB thin films by PLD.

thin solid films, charge density wave, pulsed laser deposition - Abstract
In the last decade, we have produced several series of thin films of charge density wave (CDW) system K0.3MoO3 by pulsed laser deposition [1-4]. Films have granular structure with typically sub- micron grain size, resulting in somewhat suppressed CDW transition and electric conductivity governed by the variable range hopping mechanism. Recently, for the first time, we have obtained an order of magnitude longer (2-4 m) and well patterned grains, as shown by AFM images in the Figure 1. Electrical conductivity and femtosecond pump- probe response in these films exhibit significant similarity with bulk samples, while the grain length is comparable to the CDW coherence length.

We present an experimental investigation of the fragility and heat capacity of metallic glass Zr77Ni23. The ribbon sample was produced by melt-spinning technique. Glass transition temperature Tg obtained by differential scanning calorimetry with various heating rates was used to estimate fragility parameter m. Heat capacity measurements were performed in a wide temperature interval, ranging from 1.8 K up to room temperature, for as-cast and relaxed samples in different magnetic field strengths. Our results do not show any excess of ibrational density of states over the Debye contribution corresponding to the boson peak. Relaxation of the sample causes a slight decrease of Debye contribution consistent with the measured increase of Young modulus. The fact that no boson peak is observed in heat capacity, together with the obtained intermediate fragility of m=53, positions Zr77Ni23 well outside established correlations between fragility, boson peak strength, and glass forming ability.

charge density wave ,blue bronze ,thin films ,variable range hopping - Abstract
Quasi‐one‐dimensional metal (q‐1D) K0.3MoO3, exhibits so‐called Peierls transition to a charge density wave (CDW) state with periodic charge density modulation and concomitant lattice distortion at a transition temperature Tp=180 K. Despite the fact that the physical properties of q‐1d bulk materials have been widely investigated, they can drastically change due to reduced dimensionality if the material is in the form of thin film. We present results of the production of K0.3MoO3 thin films by pulsed laser deposition (PLD). Standard characterization techniques showed that our films are composed of nano‐sized metallic grains and presence of CDW in grains was unambiguously proved by femto‐second time resolved spectroscopy (fs‐Trs). This technique also showed that the amplitude mode appears in films at a temperature that is some 30 K lower than in the crystal. Transport measurements in a wide temperature range indicated smeared Peierls transition in some films, at a temperature that is some 30 K lower than in bulk, which is in accordance with fs‐Trs. We have established a connection between film morphology and resistance, namely films with better ordering show lower resistance and more pronounced anomaly at 150 K. Furthermore, our films appear to be well fit by variable range hopping conductivity (VRH) in the almost entire temperature range, which is a characteristic of disordered materials.

Metallic Glasses ,Glass Forming Ability ,Boson Peak - Abstract
Unlike many metallic glasses, CuHfTi system for some concentrations can form bulk metallic glass. In order to establish possible correlation between glass forming ability (GFA) and thermodynamic parameters we have measured heat capacity (Cp) for Cu55Hf45-xTix (x=0, 5, 10, ..., 45) system ranging from 1.8 K up to room temperature for as-cast and annealed samples. Cp of metallic glasses in general does not obey known phonon T3 law which predicts Debye model and one of the anomalies is a wide peak around 10 K which is known as boson peak (BP). Here, we present low-temperature Cp parameters and the intensity of the BP given as subtraction of the measured heat capacity and sum of the Debye phonon and electronic contribution as a function of x. The intensity of BP correlates well with GFA of studied CuHfTi alloys.

Partially crystalline metallic glasses Zr53Cu40Al7, Zr43, 5Cu47, 5Al9 and Zr40Cu53Al7 in the form of ribbons were obtained by melt- spinning. The diffractogram (XRD) confirmed the existence of crystalline peaks superimposed on an amorphous matrix. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy was performed to examine the homogeneity and chemical composition of the material. The crystallization process was observed using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The electrical resistivity of partially crystalline ZrCuAl metallic glasses has been studied as a function of temperature between 80 and 273 K. The temperature dependence of the resistivity was monitored by standard four-point probe method for compositions with less than 10% Al. Despite the fact that the samples were partially crystalline, a low negative temperature coefficient of resistivity (TCR) similar to that of an amorphous metallic glass is observed.

metallic glass - Abstract
Metallic glasses are metastable amorphous structures produced by quenching-rapid cooling. Due to very high cooling rates during the production process it is very difficult to produce homogenous samples with the same chemical composition. We present the results of examination of homogeneity and structure of CuZrAlY metallic glass ribbons. The ribbons, approximately 1.5 m long and 1 mm wide were produced using melt spinning technique. The investigated samples, 1 cm long and 1 mm wide were chosen from the middle and the end of produced ribbons. The surface of the samples was examined by metallographic and electron scanning microscopy. Chemical composition in different areas of each sample was checked by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The differences in structure of the samples were investigated using X-ray diffraction. Electrical resistivity measurement in temperature range from 80 to 300 K are presented also.

metallic glass - Abstract
This paper presents the results of an extensive research of two partially crystalline samples Ni23Zr73 (indicated numbers refer to atomic percentages) metallic glasses produced by chill block melt-spinning (CBMS) under different conditions. Keeping all other CBMS parameters constant we have varied only pressure which ejects a stream of liquid onto the wheel. Partially crystalline structure of the samples was confirmed by X-ray characterization (XRD). The samples were also investigated by scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The results showed the very homogenous distribution of nickel and zirconium in the samples and chemical composition near Ni23Zr77. Crystallization and thermal stability were studied by meaning of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). DSC analysis indicates a simple thermally activated process for both samples. Microhardness was also measured on both sides the samples.

Electric conductivity of charge density wave (CDW) systems exhibits rich variety of behavior ; thermal activation across the gap at low fields below transition temperature TP, collective contribution (nonlinear conductivity channel) above the threshold field (ET) and variable range hopping (VRH) at low temperatures and in granulated thin films in the whole temperature range . Particularly the origin of the hopping conductivity is still unclear. We have investigated the influence of disorder on conductivity phenomena in CDW systems TaS3 and blue bronze (BB: K0.3MoO3) in a wide range of temperatures and electric fields using both the DC and pulse measurements at low and high fields respectively. Disorder has been introduced in several ways: (1) synthesis of TaS3 samples doped with Nb, (2) irradiation of nominally pure TaS3 samples and (3) deposition of granular thin BB films by pulsed laser deposition (PLD). Our results show that the nonlinear conductivity can be described by VRH already below 50 K in contrast to the linear channe, where it appears only below 20 K. Moreover, the point defects in TaS3 introduced by doping and irradiation have no effect on VRH. Together with the dielectric data, it suggests the microscopic picture of soliton hopping in CDW at low temperatures. In granular thin BB films, on the other hand, the influence of grain boundaries is overwhelming even above TP, which is in contrast to the previous experiments on thin BB films. The results can be understood by applying recent theoretical results for Beloborodov's Efros- Shlovskii VRH in granular materials.

tanki filomiv ,plava bronca ,kvazi-jednodimenzionalni materijali - Abstract
U ovom radu je predstavljen utjecaj parametara proizvodnje (temperatura podloge Ts i parcijalni pritisak oksigena p02) na granularne tanke filmove K0.3MoO3 (kalijeva plava bronza) proizvedene pulsnom laserskom depozicijom (PLD). Filmovi su ispitani različitim standardnim tehnikama kao što su UV-vis spektroskopija, skenirajuća elektronska mikroskopija (SEM), rendgenska difrakcija (XRD), mikroskopija atomskim silama (AFM), femtosekundna- vremenski razlučiva spektroskopija (fs-TRs) i mjerenje električnog transporta. Općenito, K0.3MoO3 predstavlja prototip kvazi- jednodimenzionalnog (q-1D) materijala koji prelazi u kolektivno stanje vala gustoće naboja (VGN) na temperaturama nižim od temperature prelaza Tp. Njegova svojstva su dobro poznata i ispitana u kristalima, a zbog smanjene dimenzionalnosti, filmovi sa VGN stanjem omogućavaju proučavanje fizikalnih svojstava ovih sistema na mezo i mikro skalama. Amaliza eksperimentalnih rezultata pokazuje da su filmovi sastavljeni od nanokristalnih zrna čija veličina i orjentacija zavise od parametara proizvodnje. Mjerenja električnog transporta i fs- TRs su omogućila detekciju faznog prelaza u VGN osnovno stanje na temperaturi oko 30 K nižoj u filmu nego u kristalu.

djelimično kristalna metalna stakla ,melt-spining metoda ,kristalizacija ,aktivaciona energija - Abstract
The partially crystalline metallic glasses Zr45Cu55 and Zr55Cu45 (numbers indicate at. %) in the form of ribbons, with compositions near eutectics, were prepared by melt-spinning method in the Metal Physics Laboratory, Faculty of Science in Sarajevo.. The homogeneity and chemical composition of the samples were examined using a scanning electron microscope equipped with a device for energy dispersive analysis. The presence of crystals in the amorphous matrix was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD). According to the XRD results, both sides of the quenched ribbon showed similar structure. The crystallization process was monitored by means of differential scanning calorimetry. Kinetics of the crystallization process was studied through isoconversional methods. It was found that peak crystallization temperature and activation energies are in good agreement with those for the amorphous samples. Overall activation energy of crystallization for Zr45Cu55 is evaluated at 3, 7 eV, while for Zr55Cu45 it is 2, 8 eV.

metallic glasses ,magnetization ,ferromagnetic ribbons - Abstract
The measurements on amorphous ferromagnetic ribbons have shown that direct (JD) and alternating (JA) core-current can affect the M-H loop and cause effects like decrease the coercive field Hc (hence decrease hysteresis loss E), shift the center of the M-H loop (C) along the H-axis, and change the permeability, maximum (Mm) and remanent (Mr) magnetization of the sample. These effects are associated with transverse field Hp generated by JD (static Hp). The magnitude of Hp increases linearly with the distance from the center of the ribbon and reaches the maximum at its surface, hence the term “surface field”. In order to explain the observed effects and to better understand the magnetization processes in these samples, a simple phenomenological model for the influence of surface fields Hp on the magnetization of the sample has been developed. For the coercive field, the model predicts linearly decreasing Hc with Hp (at not too small Hp). The measurements of Hc vs. Hp for a number of amorphous ferromagnetic ribbons (both magnetostrictive and nonmagnetostrictive) agree well with the model prediction for moderate values of static Hp, whereas, at elevated Hps, Hc tends to saturation. Furthermore, in very soft amorphous ferromagnetic ribbons surface pinning of domain walls leads to deviation in behavior of Hc from that predicted by simple model on all values of Hc and for all Hp (static and dynamic). The observed deviations from the model predictions motivated us to revise the model taking into account the complex domain structure of a real sample and the influence of the high surface field on this structure. In addition to the description of the 'unusual' influence of Hp (both static and dynamic) on the M- H loops and their parameters for nanocrystalline FeCuNbSiB ribbon we also present here an improved model, which fully accounts for the observed phenomena.

Metallic glasses ,GFA - Abstract
We start with a brief review of progress in research and applications of metallic glasses (MG) over last 60 years. The milestones, such as their discovery, fabrication of bulk MGs (BMG) and the progress in commercialization of MGs will be emphasized. Next, we briefly review early research of rapidly quenched alloys in Zagreb and fruitful collaboration in this research between Zagreb and Sarajevo (initiated by Professors B. Leontić and E. Girt in 1969.) We show that till 1990. the research and fabrication of MGs in Zagreb and Sarajevo was at the forefront of research in this field. This showed very clearly at the EC‐Yu Colloquium on Advanced Materials, held in September 1988. in Sarajevo. We compare some predictions from this Colloquium with the present achievements in the field of MGs. Further, we outline the impact of the discovery of BMGs in 90‐ties (at first in multicomponent and then in binary transition metal alloys) on the further development of this field of research . We will use binary BMGs (which are the base of more important multicomponent BMGs) in tackling still unsolved problem of the origin of high glass forming ability (GFA), which enables the formation of BMGs. Some largely ignored features of binary Cu‐Ti, Zr, Hf MGs, such as ideal solution behaviour are emphasized and their relation with GFA and formation of BMGs in Cu‐ Zr, Hf alloys is proposed. On the basis of previous results for Cu‐Zr MGs we propose a novel criterion for selection of potential BMG forming alloys, which may apply to multicomponent systems based on transition metals, too.

metallic glasses - Abstract
METGLASS workshop focusses on metallic glasses (amorphous alloys prepared by quenching the molten alloys) which are just one, but distinguished area of research in the disordered condensed matter systems. Because of their conceptual (e.g. the „problem of the nature of glass transition“ etc.) and technological relevance (e.g. transformer cores, medical and sporting goods, etc.) metallic glasses are currently among the most actively studied metallic materials and are likely to remain so in the years to come.

metallic glasses ,glass forming ability ,boson peak ,heat capacity - Abstract
The Debye model predicts a T3 dependence of the specific heat Cp at sufficiently low temperatures (T) in insulators and it reproduces a wealth of data in isotropic crystals. Amorphous compounds also show universal low‐T thermal properties which are, however, anomalous with respect to those of the corresponding crystalline phases. The best known fingerprints of glasses appear in specific heat and thermal conductivity. There are two anomalies that show up as an excess to the constant Cp(T)/T3 in glasses and amorphous systems: the upturn below 1 K and a broad bump at T∼10 K. As little was known about the second feature other than its bosonic character, so it became known as the “boson peak” (BP). Since then, the origin of the BP has remained a puzzle and the main topics in a very wide field of glasses from both experimental and theoretical point of view. There are even some expectations that the clarification of the BP origin may also help to solve an even older problem, namely to explain the peculiarities of the glass transition itself. In this short overview two limiting cases will be presented for long (L) and short (S) range (R) order (O): „superstructural glass” (LRO) and metallic glass (SRO). On general grounds we show that the Cp of incommensurate (IC) modulated systems bears many similarities with that of amorphous systems and that IC systems could provide a model approach to low‐T behavior of glasses. On the other side, the possible correlation between glass forming ability (GFA) and BP in metallic glasses might shed new light to this puzzle.

Structural relaxation ,metallic glasses - Abstract
Metallic glasses, as well as other glasses, form by continuous “hardening” during undercooling of a melt at a sufficiently high rate, “freezing” at glass transition temperature (Tg) before crystallization has time to nucleate and develop. The formed state is seldom fully relaxed, but incorporates quenched‐in defects associated with a so‐called free volume, vf. During a subsequent heating vf is irreversibly annealed out bellow Tg, (α relaxation), resulting in a meastable amorphous structure with the properties that can be cycled reversibly between the values characteristic of different annealing temperatures (β relaxation). The β relaxation has a strong impact on density, Young’s modulus, creep and creep recovery, free energy and stress‐relief. At least two distinct mechanisms were observed, easily illustrated by so called cross‐over effect showing that the glass state is not uniquely defined by a physical property value, rather thermal history must be taken into account. A spectrum of relaxation times has been used to describe rather complex relaxation kinetics. Some early (1980s) results as well as more recent results are presented in a variety of super‐quenched glassy (tapes) systems like: Cu‐Zr, Cu‐Ti, Cu‐ Hf, Cu‐Hf‐Ti, Cu‐Zr(Ti, Hf), Fe‐Ni‐B, Al‐Y‐Ni. The appearance of β relaxation is similar to that observed in short range ordering of crystalline alloys and it is proposed that similar changes in short range order occur in metallic glasses. Differences in the kinetics of initial relaxation and subsequent ordering and disordering are accounted for in terms of vf loss.

metallic glasses ,glass forming ability ,boson peak ,heat capacity - Abstract
We have investigated the low temperature heat capacity of Cu55Hf45‐xTix metallic glasses in the entire range of Ti concentrations, x=0‐45. We have established the most appropriate procedure for the analysis of data and for the estimate of low temperature electronic and phonon contributions. Both contributions exhibit monotonous Ti concentration dependence, demonstrating that there is no relation of either the electron density of states at the Fermi level or the Debye temperature to the increased glass forming ability (GFA) in the Ti concentration range x=15‐30. Our results indicate that the thermodynamic parameters (e.g. reduced glass temperature) remain the most assertive indicators of GFA for bulk metallic glasses. However, we discuss the possibility to correlate more subtle glass‐like contributions to the heat capacity, such as the Boson peak, with GFA.
