Al-based Thin Film Quasicrystals and Approximants

In this work, Al-based quasicrystalline and approximant phases have been synthesized in thin films using magnetron sputter deposition. Quasicrystals are structures having long-range order and rotational symmetries which are inconsistent with periodicity. Due to their unusual structure, quasicrystals...
