Abstract The electronic density of states in transition metal–metalloid non‐crystalline alloys is calculated using the recursion method and the tight binding linear muffin tin orbital method. In the total density of states the main peak is observed near the Fermi energy. The density of states at the Fermi energy in Ni0.7B0.3(1−x)P0.3x non‐crystalline alloys decreases with increasing concentration of phosphorus.
