Abstract
By microalloying of Gd atoms with 4f electrons into CuZrAl or MgCuY glassy alloys, they display a variety of puzzling behaviors such as the characteristic of Kondo effect. The ground states of the Gd-alloyed systems are determined to have non-Fermi-liquid characteristics which derive from the strong structural disorder. The Kondo effect in these glassy alloys is attributed to the strong structural disorder. The coexistence of the Kondo effect and strong structural disorder has implications for the understanding the origin of the puzzling non-Fermi-liquid behavior.
