摘要
Flux-growth techniques have been successfully applied to the preparation of several families of quasicrystals and related approximant phases. Large (up to 1 cm(3)) single-grain samples have been obtained for icosahedral R-Mg-Zn (R=Y, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho and Er), decagonal Al-Ni-Co, icosahedral Al-Pd-Mn, icosahedral Al-Ga-Pd-Mn, and the xi' Al-Pd-Mn approximant phase. The samples are obtained by slowly cooling ternary (or quaternary) melts of a composition that intersects the primary solidification surface of the desired phase in the equilibrium ternary alloy phase diagram (i.e. this is a self-flux technique). The technique clearly reveals the growth habit, and results in remarkably strain-free quasicrystals. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
