Abstract The collective dynamics (longitudinal and transverse phonon modes) are studied for aluminum-copper (Al-Cu) binary alloy in terms of the eigen-frequencies of the localized collective excitations. The model pseudopotential formalism is employed using a self-consistent phonon scheme by involving multiple scattering and phonon eigen-frequencies. These frequencies are expressed in terms of many-body correlation functions of atoms as well as of interatomic potential. The important ingredients in the present study are the pair-potential and pair-correlation functions. The most recent and sparingly used local field correlation functions are employed to investigate the influence of the screening effects on the vibrational dynamics of non-crystalline Al83Cu17 binary alloy. The results for the elastic constants like bulk modulus BT, rigidity modulus G, Poisson's ratio ξ, Young's modulus Y, Debye temperature θD, propagation velocity of elastic waves and dispersion curves are reported based on the collective modes of this binary alloys. The present results are consistent and confirm the applicability of model potential and self-consistent phonon theory for such studies.
