Abstract
Increased availability of amorphous metal alloys, particularly the transition‐metal‐metalloid metallic glasses has permitted more studies of the low temperature specific heat (CP) in recent years. The contributions to CP due to phonons (CL), electrons (CE) and magnetic effects (CM) are discussed. In CL the contribution of low‐energy phonons is sensitive to composition, structure and annealing state. In analyzing CE in the [FeNi] [PB] alloys a split‐band model offers the best description of present data. Spin‐glass contributions to CM provide entropy distribution near the spin‐glass anomaly and show the spin‐glass state persisting up to 20% iron in the [FeNi] [P14B6] series. Preliminary results on annealing effects in CP are presented and areas for future research through CP measurements summarized.This publication has 21 references indexed in Scilit:
