Abstract
Bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) are usually based on single element such as Zr, Cu, and Fe. In this work, we report the formation of a series of BMGs based on arbitrarily selected binary rare earth elements. Compared with single-base BMGs, the binary-base BMGs have unique characteristics of excellent glass-forming ability, tunable physical, chemical and mechanical properties. The binary-base BMGs might be of significance in scientific studies and have potential applications, and the approach for formation of metallic glasses has implications in the search for new BMG systems.
