Popis: The rare earth elements (RE= Y, Sm, La, Ce) were used as alloying materials in Cu50Zr45Al5BMG, and their influences on the glass-forming ability and thermal stability were studied in this paper. All the samples remained in full metallic glass state with minor additions of Y, Sm and La. Increasing the amount of RE additions, the Cu10Zr7and Zr2Cu phases precipitated and glass transition temperatureTgand crystallization temperatureTxsignificantly decreased. The reduced glass transition temperature Trg=Tg/Tlranged from 0.592 to 0.611 and the γ parameter ranged from 0.393 to 0.409.
