摘要：

We report the observation of a spatial quasiperiodicity in high-resolution electron-microscope images of the thermodynamically stable decagonal Al65Cu15Co20 quasicrystal. Well defined quasiperiods consistent with decagonal symmetry and x-ray-diffraction data have been found. The structure observed is inconsistent with conventional ideal Penrose tiling. There is strong evidence for an entropy stabilization mechanism. © 1990 The American Physical Society.
