Abstract

Since the discovery by D. Shechtman of the icosahedral AlMn phase by electron diffraction, a number of investigation techniques commonly used in materials science have been applied to the case of quasicrystals, like X-rays and neutron diffraction and local spectroscopies. But indisputably the understanding of their structure has been driven by electron microscopy. The major reason for that is due to the fact that quasicrystals are generally of micronic size, when obtained for example by rapid solidification, but also coexisting, at a more or less fine scale, with other intermetallic crystalline compounds; this last point hampers evidently characterization techniques with limited spatial resolution which sample the alloys at a heterogeneous scale or which requires a large amount of matter.
