Abstract It is now well established that, as with amorphous alloys, the Mössbauer spectra of icosahedral alloys exhibit QSD's. This is evidence for intrinsic local disorder present in icosahedral structures. The shapes of the QSD's have not been unambiguously established and, as a result, it has been difficult to link these shapes with other physical properties of these novel and complex alloys. We apply a recently developed arbitrary shape static hyperfine parameter distribution method to the case of a new icosahedral alloy series: Al65Cu20Cr15-xFex. The method proves to be a powerful and useful tool in this application. It enables us to evaluate several robust features and to identify other features that are subject to large uncertainties due to extreme sensitivity to details.
