The effect of structural relaxation on the electronic structure of Fe78Si9B13 metallic glass was investigated by means of the Hall effect, electrical conductivity and EELS methods. The effect of the structural relaxations was observed by four-hour annealing of the samples in argon atmosphere at temperatures 573, 673, 723, 773 K. The most distinct changes in the measured quantities were observed for samples annealed at 773 K. The differences in EELS spectrum, a decrease in the electrical and the Hall resistance are specific to these samples. X-ray diffractometry confirmed that the samples annealed at this temperature show recrystallization.
