Abstract:

Unusual results are obtained by High Resolution Electron Microscopy (HREM) studies of the 1/1 cubic approximant phase of the (AlSi)CuFe icosahedral phase. We study, in a 3D model of AlCuFe icosahedral phase, the possibilities of transformation of this structure into a periodic cubic structure. We propose a model of transformation coherent with the experimental results.
