摘要
Precise X-ray diffraction measurements have revealed that phonon (conventional) strain is introduced at the phase transition from an icosahedral quasicrystal to its orthorhombic crystal approximant in a Mg-Ga-Al-Zn alloy. From the magnitude of the measured phonon strain, the phonon-phason coupling constant has been evaluated. This constant is approximately -0:03 mu (mu: shear modulus) and it is in good agreement with the result of a theoretical calculation reported previously (W.-J. Zhu and C. L. Henley, Europhys. Lett. 46 748 (1999)). This is the first study that experimentally evaluates the phonon-phason coupling constant in any existing quasicrystalline phase.
