Crystal Structure and Pseudo-Mackay Clusters of R-AlPdCo
نویسندگان
چکیده
The structure of the rhombohedral (R-) AlPdCo phase was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction: space group R 3 (No. 148), a = 2.91019(8) nm and c = 1.31854(4) nm, V = 9.6709(5) nm3, atoms/cell = 660, F(000) = 12820, R = 0.0481 for the observed 3354 reflections measured by Mo K¡ radiation ( = 0.071069 nm). R-AlPdCo has two types of pseudo-Mackay clusters (pMCs) around Co(12) at 18f and Al/Pd(14) at 3a. The first shell of Co(12)-pMC consists of nine Al sites. The second shell of the Co(12)-pMC is a combination of (M, Co)icosahedron (ICO) and Al-icosidodecahedron (IDO), where M is a mixed site of Pd, Co or Al. On the other hand, the first shell of the other pMC around Al/Pd(14) consists of two sub-shells: an M-cube and Al-octahedron. The outer shell of the Al/Pd(14)-pMC consists of an M-ICO and Al-IDO. These pMCs interpenetrate each other by sharing the edges of the second ICO shells and their interstitial space is filled by Al-ICOs around M(1) and M(2). These structural features suggest that the structure of R-AlPdCo is realized by linking the Co(12)and Al/Pd(14)-pMCs together with two types of smaller Al-ICO around the M(1) and M(2) sites.

NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS OF THE PHASE TRANSITIONS IN CLUSTERS
We have studied the phase transitions in atomic clusters by molecular dynamics simulation, assuming Lennard-Jones interatomic pair potential. Calculations are performed by DAP parallel computer. The results are analyzed by simulating their orientational distribution plots (dot-plot), and neutron diffraction patterns. It is shown that all the main features of the bulk phase transitions are e...

Using pair potentials fitted to an ab initio database, combined with replica-exchange simulated annealing, we show that the complex, quasicrystal-related Al11Ir4 compound contains a nonstandard version of the “pseudo-Mackay” icosahedral cluster, with nonicosahedral inner Al10Ir and/or Al9Ir clusters that exist in various orientations and account for partial occupancies in the reported structure...
