The process of a primary crystallization of the Fe_{72.5}Cu_{1}Nb_{2}Mo_{2}Si_{15.5}B_{7} alloys was investigated by differential thermal analysis (DTA), x-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Amorphous ribbons were isothermally annealed for 0.5, 2, 6, 30 and 150 minutes at 520 °C. Both, the XRD and TEM study showed that the level of devitrification of the sample increases with the annealing time. The above mentioned techniques confirmed the presence of the nanocrystalline grains of the Fe_{3}Si phase and enable us to study the evolution of the identified phase.
Local atomic structure in Fe_{84}B_{16} metallic glass, prepared by melt-spinning technique in He atmosphere, was studied by electron diffraction (ED) reduced density function (RDF) analysis. RDF curves were also obtained from X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns and compared with the data from ED. Atomic reduced density functions, G(r), calculated from ED and XRD patterns showed good agreement. Atomic structure model has been fitted to the experimental ED data using Reverse Monte Carlo (RMC) simulation.
