Present Mössbauer investigations of melt-quenched (Fe1- xNix)75B25(0 ≤ x ≤ 0.75) glasses show a change in the geometrical arrangement of near-neighbours closely following that of the crystalline counterparts (Fe3B is tetragonal, Ni3B is orthorhombic). The chemical short-range order of sputtered amorphous Fe1-xBx57(0.09 ≤ x ≤ 0.30) alloys characterized via the Fe hyperfine field distribution is very similar to that of liquid quenched samples
