Jg. Feng et Rh. Wang, FIVEFOLD AND THREEFOLD-TYPE DISLOCATIONS IN AN AL-CU-FE ICOSAHEDRAL QUASI-CRYSTAL IDENTIFIED BY DEFOCUS CONVERGENT-BEAM ELECTRON-DIFFRACTION, Philosophical magazine letters, 69(6), 1994, pp. 309-315
Dislocations with Burgers vectors b5 = [-211111] and b3 = [10-10-10] i
n an Al-Cu-Fe icosahedral quasicrystal (IQC) have been identified for
the first time by the defocus convergent-beam electron diffraction met
hod. Unlike the dislocations already found in IQCs, the Burgers vector
components of these two types of dislocation in physical space are pa
rallel to the fivefold and threefold axes respectively of the IQC. In
addition, the magnitudes of the Burgers vector components in physical
space are about 0.2 and 0.5 nm respectively, which are only about one
eighteenth and one quarter of those in the complementary space.
