摘要: We study the anomalous acoustic softening behavior in La68−xCexAl10Cu20Co2 (x=0, 34, and 68) metallic glasses by magnetic susceptibility, thermal expansion, specific heat at low temperatures. The Ce-based glass exhibits valence fluctuation phenomenon, expansion Gruneisen parameter And we provide experimental evidence of existence strong electron–phonon coupling heat. properties are attributed to instability glasses.
