Noble gas films on a decagonal AlNiCo quasicrystal
Thermodynamic properties of Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe adsorbed on an Al-NiCo quasicrystalline surface (QC) are studied with Grand Canonical Monte Carlo by employing Lennard-Jones interactions with parameter values derived from experiments and traditional combining rules. In all the gas/QC systems, a layer-by-layer film growth is observed at low temperature. The monolayers have regular epitaxial fivefo...
متن کاملEquilibrium structure of decagonal AlNiCo
We investigate the high temperature decagonal quasicrystalline phase of Al72Ni20Co8 using a quasilattice gas Monte-Carlo simulation. To avoid biasing towards a specific model we use an over-dense site list with a large fraction of free sites, permitting the simulation to explore an extended region of perpendicular space. Representing the atomic surface occupancy in a basis of harmonic functions...
متن کاملNatural quasicrystal with decagonal symmetry
We report the first occurrence of a natural quasicrystal with decagonal symmetry. The quasicrystal, with composition Al71Ni24Fe5, was discovered in the Khatyrka meteorite, a recently described CV3 carbonaceous chondrite. Icosahedrite, Al63Cu24Fe13, the first natural quasicrystal to be identified, was found in the same meteorite. The new quasicrystal was found associated with steinhardtite (Al38...

متن کاملCombined energy – diffraction data refinement of decagonal AlNiCo
We incorporate realistic pair potential energies directly into a non-linear least-square fit of diffraction data to quantitatively compare structure models with experiment for the Ni-rich d(AlNiCo) quasicrystal. The initial structure models are derived from a few a priori assumptions (gross features of the Patterson function) and the pair potentials. In place of the common hyperspace approach t...
