Abstract
It is shown that the presence of asymmetric Mossbauer spectra the distribution of the hyperfine field can be evaluated. The calculation of Billiard and Chamberod (1975) is extended to cover spin glasses and metallic glasses, and the results are applied to the series Pd77.5-xCu6Si16.5Fex. Coupling of the hyperfine field to both the isomer shift and the quadrupole effect is discussed. The results can be used to study short-range order changes in alloy glasses.
