Metallic Phase with Long-Range Orientational Order and No Translational Symmetry
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...
Quasicrystals: A New Class of Ordered Structures
A quasicrystal is the natural extension of the notion of a crystal to structures with quasiperiodic, rather than periodic, translational order. We classify two- and three-dimens...
The Reaction of Lithium with Sn-Mn-C Intermetallics Prepared by Mechanical Alloying
Intermetallic phases and mixtures of intermetallic phases in the Sn‐Mn‐C ternary system were prepared by mechanical alloying. The reaction of lithium with these phases was studi...
Quasicrystal with One-Dimensional Translational Symmetry and a Tenfold Rotation Axis
Studies of phase formation in rapidly solidified Al-Mn alloys (composition range 18-22 at.% Mn) show that an icosahedral phase is replaced by another noncrystallographic phase, ...
Improved weak-field magnetoresistance analysis for (001) -oriented thin films and surface layers with cubic or tetragonal symmetry
Weak-field magnetoresistance (WFMR) behavior is described for (001) -oriented films and surface layers in which the sample current lies along a nonspecial direction in the plane...
