TL;DR: In this article, a metallic solid with long-range orientational order, but with icosahedral point group symmetry, which is inconsistent with lattice translations, was observed and its diffraction spots are as sharp as those of crystals but cannot be indexed to any Bravais lattice.

Abstract: We have observed a metallic solid (Al-14-at.%-Mn) with long-range orientational order, but with icosahedral point group symmetry, which is inconsistent with lattice translations. Its diffraction spots are as sharp as those of crystals but cannot be indexed to any Bravais lattice. The solid is metastable and forms from the melt by a first-order transition.

Hume-Rothery stabilization mechanism and e/a determination for RT- and MI-type 1/1-1/1-1/1 approximants studied by FLAPW-Fourier analyses
TL;DR: A new Hume-Rothery electron concentration rule linking the number of atoms per unit cell, e/uc, with a critical|G|(2) holds well for all complex intermetallic compounds characterized by a pseudogap at E(F).

Structure of CAl12
TL;DR: In this article, the Car-Parrinello method was used to study the structure of isolated CAl12 clusters and a solid composed of CAl 12 clusters, based on the density functional theory and the local density approximation.

Short-range structure of Al-Mn and Al-Mn-Si aperiodic alloys
Yanjun Ma,Edward A. Stern +1 more
TL;DR: The results suggest the presence of a short-range cubic environment in the icosahedral phase with an estimated correlation length of about 20 A, in disagreement with both the completely random accretion of oriented MI units and a quasicrystalline arrangement of the MI.

Bond-orientational order in liquids and glasses
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the bond-orientational order in molecular-dynamics simulations of supercooled liquids and in models of metallic glasses and found that the order is predominantly icosahedral, although there is also a cubic component which they attribute to the periodic boundary conditions.

Stability of a Planar Interface During Solidification of a Dilute Binary Alloy
W. W. Mullins,R. F. Sekerka +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the stability of a moving planar liquid-solid interface during unidirectional freezing of a dilute binary alloy is theoretically investigated by calculating the time dependence of the amplitude of a sinusoidal perturbation of infinitesimal amplitude introduced into the planar shape.

TL;DR: In this article, two-and three-dimensional quasicrystals were classified by their symmetry under rotation and showed that many disallowed crystal symmetries are allowed quasici-rystal symmets.

F. C. Frank,J. S. Kasper +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the topological and geometrical properties of coordination polyhedra are examined and rules and theorems regarding them are deduced, and general principles regarding the combination of these polyhedral groups into full structures are given for terms that facilitate the detailed discussion of this class of structures.
