Intermetallic compounds and micro-structures in Ni–Mn–In alloy system were investigated with transmission electron microscopy, selected-area and nano-beam electron diffraction, and energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy. Together with two types of Heusler phases, a decagonal quasicrystalline phase and a structurally related crystallite were found in the Ni–Mn–In system. As is well-known, most of the decagonal quasicrystals are aluminum-based intermetallic phases. It is interesting to investigate the aluminum-free decagonal quasicrystalline phase as a new member of the quasicrystal family. Structural characterization was carried out on the decagonal quasicrystalline phase and the crystalline approximant in the Ni–Mn–In alloy system.
