Several FeB-based amorphous alloys (Fe80B8Si12, Fe71B17Si12 and Fe71B17(Nb4Y4Zr4)) with good mechanical properties and soft magnetic properties have recently been well developed by addition of solute atoms to tune the magnetic properties and glass forming ability (GFA). The atomic structures were revealed by state-of-the-art extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy (EXAFS) combining with ab initio molecular-dynamics (AIMD) computational techniques. Both AIMD computational results and the EXAFS spectra present clear evidence of a very different chemical and topological short-range order (SRO) around the Fe atom in all the studied samples. The experimental results of nanoindentation, XPS and thermal stability were in good agreement with the EXAFS results. Besides, the magnetic behaviors were discussed in view of the EXAFS results and atomic clusters of the glassy alloys.
