? 2022 Elsevier B.V.Nanoscale structural heterogeneity is a critical parameter for understanding the structure-property relationships in amorphous alloys. Herein, the small-angle X-ray scattering and atomic force microscopy were utilized to quantitatively investigate the nanoscale structural heterogeneity of the Fe80-xMxSi9B11 (M = Co and Ni; x = 0, 2, 4) amorphous alloys. The results show that the nanoscale structural heterogeneity of the amorphous alloys increases prominently with Ni substitution, but gradually decreases with the increase of Co content. Such evolution of structural heterogeneity was further verified by the changes in mechanical behavior. The microalloying of Ni can increase the plastic deformation ability and reduce the microhardness, whereas an opposite effect is found in the Co-doped alloys. Finally, M?ssbauer spectroscopy reveals an enhancement in ferromagnetic exchange interaction and magnetic anisotropy with Co substitution, while the microalloying of Ni leads to a deteriorative result. Such variations in magnetic properties can be attributed to the evolution of nanoscale structural heterogeneity with Co and Ni additions. Our observation serves as a link between the nanoscale structural heterogeneity and magnetic properties, providing a new sight into understanding the structural origin of the changes in magnetic properties of Fe-based amorphous alloys.
