Amorphous and nanocrystalline (Fe1–xNix)81Nb7B12 (x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75) alloys were measured by M?ssbauer spectrometry in the weak external magnetic field of 0.5 T. From structural analyses, ferromagnetic bcc-FeNi and fcc-FeNi and paramagnetic (Fe-Ni)23B6 phases were identified in the annealed samples. It was shown that in the external magnetic field the intensities of the 2nd and the 5th lines (A23 parameter) are the most sensitive M?ssbauer parameters. Rather small changes were observed in the values of internal magnetic field. Our results showed that the amorphous precursor is more sensitive to the influence of external magnetic field than the nanocrystalline alloy. All spectra of amorphous precursor showed the increase of A23 parameter and decrease of internal magnetic field values of about 1 T (±0.5 T) under influence of external magnetic field. In the case of nanocrystalline samples the tendency for the values of internal magnetic field is similar but the effect is not so pronounced. The measurements confirmed that even weak external magnetic field affected orientation of the net magnetic moments. Our results indicate that effect of the external magnetic field is stronger in the case of amorphous samples due to their disordered structure.
