Continuum elastic sphere vibrations as a model for low-lying optical modes in icosahedral quasicrystals
The nearly dispersionless, so-called “optical” vibrational modes observed by inelastic neutron scattering from icosahedral Al-Pd-Mn and Zn-Mg-Y quasicrystals are found to correspond well to modes of a continuum elastic sphere that has the same diameter as the corresponding icosahedral basic units of the quasicrystal. When the sphere is considered as free, most of the experimentally found modes ...
متن کاملLattice dynamics of the Zn-Mg-Sc icosahedral quasicrystal and its Zn-Sc periodic 1/1 approximant.
Quasicrystals are long-range-ordered materials that lack translational invariance, so the study of their physical properties remains a challenging problem. Here, we have carried out inelastic-X-ray- and neutron-scattering experiments on single-grain samples of the Zn-Mg-Sc icosahedral quasicrystal and of the Zn-Sc periodic cubic 1/1 approximant, with the aim of studying the respective influence...
متن کاملShort-range order in undercooled and stable melts forming quasicrystals and approximants and its influence on nucleation
An icosahedral short-range order has been predicted to prevail in undercooled metallic melts. For melts of pure metals this hypothesis was recently experimentally confirmed by diffraction experiments. This work presents results of neutron scattering experiments on the short-range order of stable and undercooled liquids of alloys forming quasicrystals and polytetrahedral crystals. The studies in...
متن کاملNon-linear generalized elasticity of icosahedral quasicrystals
Quasicrystals can carry, in addition to the classical phonon displacement field, a phason displacement field, which requires a generalized theory of elasticity. In this paper, the third-order strain invariants (including phason strain) of icosahedral quasicrystals are determined. They are connected with 20 independent third-order elastic constants. By means of non-linear elasticity, phason stra...
متن کاملElastic theory of icosahedral quasicrystals – application to straight dislocations
In quasicrystals, there are not only conventional, but also phason displacement fields and associated Burgers vectors. We have calculated approximate solutions for the elastic fields induced by two-, threeand fivefold straight screwand edge-dislocations in infinite icosahedral quasicrystals by means of a generalized perturbation method. Starting from the solution for elastic isotropy in phonon ...
