We measured x-ray absorption near-edge-structure (XANES) spectra of nanocrystalline- (nc-) and amorphous- (a-) Fe73.5Cu1Nb3Si13.5B9 (nc-FCNSB and a-FCNSB) and Fe78Si13B9 (a-FeSiB) alloys at the Fe L-3,L-2 edge using the sample drain current mode and at the Cu L-3,L-2, and Nb L-3 edge and Si K edge using the fluorescence mode. The features in the Fe L-3-edge XANES spectrum of nc-FCNSB changed shape significantly with the addition of Cu and Nb to the Fe-Si-B alloy under the optimum annealing conditions, indicating that Cu and Nb strongly influence the Fe 3d local electronic structure. Closely examining the Cu L-3,L-2-edge XANES spectrum of nc-FCNSB reveals that the Cu clusters essentially have a body-centered-cubic structure. The white-line features at the Nb L-3 edge suggest a slight increase in delocalization of Nb 4d orbits when a-FCNSB is crystallized into nc-FCNSB. The Si K-edge XANES spectrum demonstrates the dominance of Fe-Si bonds around the Si atom in nc-FCNSB. (C) 2000 American Institute of Physics. [S0003-6951(00)00424-1].
