Abstract
The thermoelectric power of four ferromagnetic FexNi80-xB20 alloys (where x varied in steps of 20) and of a nonmagnetic Pd86-Si14 alloys has been measured in the temperature interval 50–470 K. The thermoelectric powers (S) of FexNi80-xB20 alloys are negative and their temperature variation is similar to that in crystalline Fe-Ni alloys. However, their S values are for a factor of about ten smaller then those of crystalline alloys. In Fe20Ni60B20 alloy the change in S above the Curie temperature (Tc = 426 K) is observed. An interpretation of our results in terms of strong ferromagnetism is offered.
