Abstract
A phonon modes and elastic properties of two different rare-earth based bulk metallic glasses Sc36Al24Co20Y20 and Gd36Al24Co20Y20 are computed using Hubbard-Beeby approach and our well established model potential. The local field correlation functions due to Hartree (H), Taylor (T), Ichimaru and Utsumi (IU), Farid et al (F) and Sarkar Sen et al (S) are employed to investigate the influence of the screening effects on the vibrational dynamics of Sc36Al24Co20Y20 and Gd36Al24Co20Y20 bulk metallic glasses. The results for bulk modulus BT, modulus of rigidity G, Poisson's ratio ξ, Young's modulus Y, Debye temperature ΘD, propagation velocity of elastic waves and dispersion curves are reported. The computed elastic properties are found to be in good agreement with experimental and other available data.
