The change of thermopower is investigated in Fe-based glassy alloys during structural relaxation and amorphous-crystalline transformation. It was found, that thermopower shifts to negative direction until solely the relaxation proceeds. This negative shift is composition independent. The net shape of thermopower curves is composed from the thermopower of the individual constituent crystalline phases after the crystallization process.
