Abstract
We report the formation of lutetium and thulium based bulk metallic glasses based on the correlations between the thermodynamic, kinetic, elastic and other properties of metallic glasses. The two novel rare earth based bulk metallic glasses (REBMGs) exhibit excellent glass formation ability, high elastic moduli, considerable smaller Poisson’s ratio, high thermal stability, and even higher mechanical strength than that of typical high strength Zr-based BMGs. The reasons for the properties of the Lu- and Tm-based and other REBMGs are discussed.
