Abstract

Rapidly quenched Al86-xNi14Six (x = 0, 2, 6, and 10) alloys have been studied by means of transmission electron microscopy. Two-dimensional (2-D) decagonal quasicrystal with a periodicity of 1.6 nm along its tenfold axis was found in the rapidly quenched Al86Ni14 binary alloy. With the addition of some silicon, such as AlgoNi14Si6, the 2-D decagonal quasicrystal first transforms to a one-dimensional (1-D) quasicrystal that inherits the periodicity along the tenfold axis and has, in addition, translation periodicity in one of the twofold axes of the decagonal phase, and finally transforms to a new orthorhombic crystalline phase (a = 0.78, b = 1.62, and c = 1.48 nm). In the Al76Ni14Si10 ternary alloy, a 2-D decagonal quasicrystal with a periodicity of 0.4 nm and a coexisting crystalline phase with the “Al3Ni2” structure were found, and their orientational relationship has been determined.
