Amorphous and nanocrystalline FINEMET-type alloys with vanadium addition up to 7 at% were investigated by the Mössbauer spectroscopy and magnetic methods. The outcomes evidence alterations in grain structure, although the main effect is related to the changes in intergranular phase. This induces diminution of mean hyperfine field, saturation induction and Curie temperature as well as the increase in coercivity.
