Title: On the kinetic and equilibrium shapes of icosahedral Al₇₁Pd₁₉Mn₁₀ quasicrystals

Abstract

The dynamics of growth and relaxation of icosahedral single quasicrystals in a liquid phase were investigated using in situ synchrotron-based X-ray tomography. Here, our 4D studies (i.e., space- and time-resolved) provide direct evidence that indicates the growth process of an Al₇₁Pd₁₉Mn₁₀ quasicrystal is governed predominantly by bulk transport rather than attachment kinetics. This work is in agreement with theoretical predictions, which show that the pentagonal dodecahedron is not the minimum energy structure in Al-Pd-Mn icosahedral quasicrystals, but merely a growth shape characterized by non-zero anisotropic velocity. This transient shape transforms into a truncated dodecahedral Archimedian polyhedron once equilibrium has been attained.

Approximants of icosahedral quasicrystals: Atomic structure, inherent defects, and superstructural ordering

Journal Article Dmitrienko, V. E., E-mail: dmitrien@ns.crys.ras.ru ; Chizhikov, V A - Crystallography Reports

The structural features of approximants of icosahedral and decagonal quasicrystals and new unusual approximants (rhombohedral AlPd and cubic Al{sub 68}Pd{sub 20}Ru{sub 12}) are considered. It is shown that most approximants can be described in terms of universal local ordering of atoms, in which the nearest neighbors of each atom occupy the vertices of an almost ideal dodecahedron: the so-called dodecahedral local ordering. A set of general atomic motifs in the approximants of different orders is found for quasicrystals of different types. It is shown that the dodecahedral local ordering can be easily described by the project method, in which themore »« less

Scanning tuneeling microscopy studies of fivefold surfaces of icosahedral Al-Pd-Mn quasicrystals and of thin silver films on those surfaces

Thesis/Dissertation Unal, Baris

The present work in this dissertation mainly focuses on the clean fivefold surfaces of i-Al-Pd-Mn quasicrystals as well as the nucleation and growth of Ag films on these surfaces. In addition, Ag film growth on NiAl(110) has been explored in the frame of this dissertation. First, we have investigated the equilibration of a fivefold surface of icosahedral Al-Pd-Mn quasicrystal at 900-915 K and 925-950 K, using Omicron variable temperature scanning tunneling microscope (STM). Annealing at low temperatures resulted in many voids on some terraces while the others were almost void-free. After annealing at 925-950K, void-rich terraces became much rarer. Ourmore »« less

RHEED and STM studies of the pseudo-tenfold surface of the {xi}{sup '}-Al{sub 77.5}Pd{sub 19}Mn{sub 3.5} approximant crystal

Journal Article Sharma, H R ; Shimoda, M ; SORST, Japan Science and Technology Agency ; ... - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

The pseudo-tenfold surface of the {xi}{sup '}-Al{sub 77.5}Pd{sub 19}Mn{sub 3.5} crystal, an approximant of the icosahedral Al-Pd-Mn quasicrystal, is investigated by reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED) and scanning tunneling microscopy. The observed RHEED patterns of the surface after sputtering are found to be consistent with those of a simple cubic lattice with (110) surface plane. The [001] and [110] axes of the surface plane are oriented along the principal low-index axes of the bulk. The RHEED patterns of the sputter-annealed surface consist of diffraction streaks with periodic spacings expected for the bulk truncated surface. The surface prepared under different preparationmore »« less

Mn Self-Diffusion in Single Grain Icosahedral Al{sub 70}Pd{sub 21.5}Mn{sub 8.5} Quasicrystals

Journal Article Sprengel, W ; Lograsso, T A ; Nakajima, H ; ... - Physical Review Letters

The self-diffusivity of {sup 54}Mn in single grain icosahedral Al{sub 70}Pd{sub 21.5}Mn{sub 8.5} quasicrystals has been determined by a precision grinding technique. In the range from 870 to 1093K the temperature dependence of the Mn self-diffusivity {ital D} follows the Arrhenius equation with an activation energy {ital Q}=(180.8{plus_minus}4.5) kJmol{sup {minus}1} and a preexponential factor {ital D}{sub 0}=3.4{times}10{sup {minus}4} m{sup 2}s{sup {minus}1}. The experimental results are discussed together with diffusion mechanisms proposed for quasicrystals from theoretical considerations. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}

Surface structures of Al-Pd-Mn and Al-Cu-Fe icosahedral quasicrystals

Thesis/Dissertation Shen, Zhouxin

In this dissertation, the author reports on the surface structure of i-Al-Pd-Mn twofold, threefold, fivefold and i-Al-Cu-Fe fivefold surfaces. The LEED studies indicate the existence of two distinct stages in the regrowth of all four surfaces after Ar⁺ sputtering. In the first stage, upon annealing at relatively low temperature: 500K--800K (depending on different surfaces), a cubic phase appears. The cubic LEED patterns transform irreversibly to unreconstructed quasicrystalline patterns upon annealing to higher temperatures, indicating that the cubic overlayers are metastable. Based upon the data for three chemically-identical, but symmetrically-inequivalent surfaces, a model is developed for the relation between the cubicmore »« less
