Anomalous small-angle scattering from nanoquasicrystalline precipitates in Zr₈₀Pt₂₀ ribbons

Anomalous small-angle scattering of quasicrystals in a Zr-Pt binary alloy was examined at the Zr K absorption edge. Small differences in both density and composition were found between the quasicrystals and the amorphous matrix.
