The frequency (f) dependence, E(ε t0 , f), and the strain amplitude (ε t) dependence, E(ε t , f 0), of the dynamic Young's modulus in a-Cu 50 Ti 50 (MMG), a-Zr 50 Cu 50 (MMG) and a-Zr 55 Cu 30 Al 10 Ni 5 (BMG) were investigated at room temperature by means of the vibrating reed method in the frequency range between 10 1 Hz and 10 4 Hz, where ε t0~1 0-6 , f 0~1 0 2 Hz and MMG and BMG are abbreviations of marginal and bulk metallic glasses, respectively. The effect of passing direct-current (PEC) on E(ε t0 , f 0) was also investigate. The strong decrease in E(ε t0 , f) between 10 1 Hz and 10 4 Hz, the strong increase in E(ε t , f 0) with increasing ε t below 0.2% and the net increase in E(ε t0 , f 0) under PEC with the current density of 10 7 A/m 2 were commonly found, indicating that the resonant collective motions of many atoms were excited in metallic glasses. For a-Zr 50 Cu 50 and a-Zr 55 Cu 30 Al 10 Ni 5 , the effective charge, Z*, for the effects of PEC was found to be 10 5 and showed decrease with increasing f. The magnitudes of all the changes were similar among the metallic glasses, indicating that the correlation between the collective motions and the free volume contained in metallic glasses is not too strong. The underlying mechanism was discussed.
