Short-range order in iron-base amorphous alloys

1. The short-range order in amorphous alloys of iron, determined from the distribution of the superthin fields on the iron nuclei, changes in replacement of boron atoms by other metalloids; the most ordered is the alloy with germanium, and the least ordered is the alloy with carbon. 2. The greatest magnetic moment corresponds to the alloy with the greatest degree of short-range order, and the thermal stability determined by the crystallization temperature is a maximum for the alloy with the greatest density of d electrons.
