Vibrational Properties of Zr–Ni Metallic Glasses

Phonon dynamics of Zr67Ni33 AND Fe80B20 binary glassy alloys

“…Similarly, Lad and Pratap [18] have theoretically investigated the PDC of Zr-Ni BMG with model potential formalism using TG [31,32] and BS [28] approaches and got the results very close to the experimental and theoretical data available in the literature. While, Vora and coworkers [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] have evaluated the collective dynamics of some BMGs using Ashcroft's empty core model pseudopotential [34] Singh et al [19] have examined Zr-Ni BMG with HB [30], TG [31,32] and BS [28] approaches using a newly constructed free model potential, which is, in fact, the alteration of the Ashcroft's model potential [34] only. The electronic structure, bonding and 3D atomic structure of Zr67Ni33 BMG were studied by Sugita et al [20].…”

“…Very recently, Gandhi and Vora [6][7][8][9][10] have reported vibrational dynamics of some binary to hexanary BMGs using model pseudopotential theory. The interest in the Zr-based BMGs has been growing due to their superior mechanical properties like high fracture resistance, good corrosion resistance and micro-formability, which make them a favorable choice for various applications including high field superconducting magnets and the place where brittle alloys are not used [19,20].…”
