Sv. Divinski et Ln. Larikov, ON THE DIFFUSION MECHANISMS IN QUASI-CRYSTALLINE STRUCTURES, Physica status solidi. a, Applied research, 154(2), 1996, pp. 543-548
Diffusion mechanisms in quasicrystalline intermetallic compounds are c
onsidered. For ordered structures of the i(AlMnSi) type a ten-jump rin
g maintaining the atomic order is suggested. It is shown that such a m
echanism is reduced to a six-jump cycle for the i(Al, Zn)Mg type phase
s. Effects of ordering and electron structure on the diffusion mechani
sms are discussed.
