Results from inelastic neutron scattering experiments on quasicrystalline i
-AlPdMn at different temperatures between 300 and 1096 K are presented. The
quasielastic scattering observed was analyzed using a modified Gauss-Loren
tzian function. Above 900 K, a peak broadening is observed, which tentative
ly is related to the phason degree of freedom in the sample. (C) 1999 Elsev
