Natural 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 کاملFormation of a stable decagonal quasicrystalline Al-Pd-Mn surface layer.
We report the in situ formation of an ordered equilibrium decagonal Al-Pd-Mn quasicrystal overlayer on the fivefold symmetric surface of an icosahedral Al-Pd-Mn monograin. The decagonal structure of the epilayer is evidenced by x-ray photoelectron diffraction, low-energy electron diffraction, and electron backscatter diffraction. This overlayer is also characterized by a reduced density of stat...
متن کاملFirst-principles prediction of a decagonal quasicrystal containing boron.
We interpret experimentally known B-Mg-Ru crystals as quasicrystal approximants whose deterministic decoration of tiles by atoms can be extended quasiperiodically. Experimentally observed disorder corresponds to phason fluctuations. First-principles total energy calculations find many distinct tilings close to stability and suggest a phase transition from a crystalline state at low temperatures...
متن کاملNew type of Al-based decagonal quasicrystal in Al60Cr20Fe10Si10 alloy.
A new kind of decagonal quasicrystal (DQC) with a periodicity of 1.23 nm was observed in the as-cast quaternary Al60Cr20Fe10Si10 alloy. The intensity distribution of some spots in the selected-area electron diffraction pattern along the tenfold zone axis was found to be different from other Al-based DQCs. High-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy was adopted to rev...
متن کاملOrdered oxide layers on decagonal Al-Co-Ni and icosahedral Al-Pd-Mn quasicrystals
Metal oxides display a variety of crystal structures which often are more complicated compared to the parent metals [1]. In particular, the oxide structures grown on ordered aluminum binary alloys have been an immense challenge for scientists since decades [2]. On NiAl(110), oxygen binds to Al and forms an atomically thin layer of super-cell epitaxy with a huge unit cell. We investigate the str...
