The structural evolution of Co{sub 40}Fe{sub 22}Ta{sub 8}B{sub 30} glassy particles has been studied by in-situ high-energy synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD) upon isochronal annealing. The changes in position, intensity, and full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the first and second diffuse maxima of the XRD patterns suggest the occurrence of irreversible structural relaxation upon the first heating up to a temperature close to the glass transition temperature T{sub g}. The variations in reduced pair correlation functions upon annealing are discussed in the frame of the topological fluctuation theory for structural relaxation. Isochronal annealing of the Co{sub 40}Fe{sub 22}Ta{sub 8}B{sub 30} glassy particles improves their soft magnetic properties through decreasing the coercivity and increasing the magnetic susceptibility, saturation magnetization, and Curie temperature.
