Abstract
We report the abnormal temperature dependent elastic moduli of Ce-based bulk metallic glass (BMG) at low temperatures. Unlike other BMGs with stiffness mode, the Ce-based metallic glass exhibits an anomalous softening longitudinal acoustic mode with the decrease of temperature. Particularly, the bulk modulus shows a continuous decrease upon cooling indicating the softening of the BMG, which is completely different from that of other metallic glasses and conventional alloys. The physical origin of this abnormal elastic behavior is attributed to the alterative valences and electronic configurations at low temperatures.
