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 کاملCubic approximants in quasicrystal structures
2014 The regular deviations from the exact icosahedral symmetry, usually observed at the diffraction patterns of quasicrystal alloys, are analyzed. It is shown that shifting, splitting and asymmetric broadening of reflections can be attributed to crystalline phases with the cubic symmetry very close to the icosahedral one (such pseudo-icosahedral cubic approximants may be called the Fibonacci c...
متن کاملQuasicrystal approximants with novel compositions and structures
We identify several new quasicrystal approximants in alloy systems in which quasicrystals have not been previously reported. Some occur in alloys with large size contrast between the constituent elements, either containing small Boron atoms, or large Ca/Eu atoms, leading to quasicrystal structures quite different from currently known systems where the size contrast is smaller. Another group of ...
متن کاملOrthorhombic rational approximants for decagonal quasicrystals
An important exercise in the study of rational approximants is to derive their metric, especially in relation to the corresponding quasicrystal or the underlying clusters. Kuo’s model has been the widely accepted model to calculate the metric of the decagonal approximants. Using an alternate model, the metric of the approximants and other complex structures with the icosahedral cluster are expl...
متن کاملA new binary decagonal Frank-Kasper quasicrystal phase
A structure model of atoms of two sizes, interacting with Lennard-Jones potentials and simulated by molecular dynamics, was observed to freeze into a decagonal quasicrystal dominated by Frank-Kasper coordination shells and closely related to the Henley-Elser model for icosahedral quasicrystals. Idealized structure models can be described as decorations of triangle-rectangle and rhombus tilings....
