Abstract:We studied surface decorations of faceted icosahedral AlCuFe and decagonal AlCuCo single quasicrystals by the scanning electron microscopy using primary and secondary electrons. Both types of single quasicrystals exhibited decorations on their facets, however the character of the decorations was totally dierent. Three kinds of decorations has been developed. On icosahedral Al60Cu26Fe14 quasicrystals we found three kinds of decorations: cellular, cavity type and fractal-like. There was no evident dierence in ch… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
