Short-range order in transition-metal—metalloid glasses

Abstract

Iron hyperfine-field distributions of amorphous Fe-B (15-25 at.% B) alloys were determined by the M\"ossbauer technique. They show the presence of a strongly correlated local order which can be described in the ${\mathrm{Fe}}_{75}$${\mathrm{B}}_{25}$ glass as the chemical short-range order of the ${\mathrm{Fe}}_{3}$B intermetallic compound.
