Abstract
Spectral ellipsometry was used to study surface layers of Fe80 A 5B15 (A = Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni) and Fe78-x NixSi9B13 (x = 0, 1, 4, 8, 16, 21 at. %) amorphous metal alloys obtained by melt spinning. The optical characteristics of the alloys were determined by solving the inverse problem of ellipsometry. A correlation between the optical properties of the surface layers of amorphous alloys and their thermal stability was found.
