(Cp−Cpcrystal)/T3 vs T, in which the heat capacity of the crystallized counterpart (Cpcrystal) of the as-cast amorphous sample was subtracted from that of the glassy sample (Cp). Alloys O0.2 and B0.2 show higher boson peak intensity, as compared with the base alloy, indicating a state of enhanced structural heterogeneity.
