Recent advances in the study of quasicrystals
Some recent advances in the study of quasicrystals at Ames Laboratory are reviewed. In particular, growth from the melt of large, high-quality, single-grain quasicrystals is described in detail for icosahedral R-Mg-Zn and decagonal Al-Ni-Co. In addition, the magnetic properties of the rare-earth-containing icosahedral R-Mg-Zn quasicrystals are discussed.
