Abstract

Single crystal growth of the icosahedral Zn-Mg-Ho quasicrystal has been performed using the Bridgeman method. Composition of the starting alloy was selected as Zn₄₆Mg₅₁Ho₃, so that the icosahedral phase directly precipitates from the liquidus phase. A large single quasicrystal about 0.5 cm³ in size was obtained, and its composition was determined as Zn₆₀Mg₃₁Ho₉. The obtained quasicrystal shows an extremely high structural-perfection evidenced by the X-ray Laue reflection and neutron diffraction methods.
