Abstract: 

Method of quantitative estimates of the parameters of the icosahedral quasicrystals substructure, including specific phason defects, developed and successfully worked out using the experimental models of quasicrystalline Al70Pd21Re9, Ti41.5Zr41.5Ni17 and Al64.5Pd21Mn14.5 with different preparation technology. The method is based on the analysis of the diffraction lines' width of complete X-ray diffraction pattern. The results are in a good agreement with the prehistory of the samples.
