High-temperature structural study of decagonal Al-Cu-Rh

This article discusses the structural variation of decagonal Al-Cu-Rh as a function of temperature.

The quasiperiodic average structure of highly disordered decagonal Zn–Mg–Dy and its temperature dependence

The results of the first quantitative structure analysis of the Frank–Kasper decagonal Zn–Mg–Dy phase based on single-crystal X-ray diffraction data taken at different temperatures are reported.

Structure of decagonal Al–Ni–Rh

The crystal structure of the decagonal phase in the system Al–Ni–Rh (d-Al–Ni–Rh) was analyzed in the five-dimensional embedding approach based on single-crystal synchrotron X-ray diffraction data. The structure can be described as a quasiperiodic packing of partially overlapping decagonal and pentagonal columnar clusters with ∼ 21 Å diameter and ∼ 4 Å period along the tenfold axis.
