Abstract

Partial spectra of thermal vibrations of Al, Cu, and Fe atoms in an icosahedral quasicrystal have been obtained by the isotopic-contrast method in inelastic neutron scattering. Joint analysis of these results and the published data on the atomic and electronic structures of the icosahedral i-AlCuFe quasicrystal has been performed. A physical model of the quasicrystal structure is proposed that is in agreement with the existing experimental data and qualitatively describes the peculiarities of interatomic interaction.
