Abstract
We present our results in growing large single quasicrystals of the icosahe dral phase in the Zn-Mg-Ho system with the top-seeded solution growth metho d. We also show new results of investigations on the Zn-Mg-Y phase diagram focussing on the sector with low Y content, to obtain some information abou t the solidification behavior of the decagonal phase. In addition, the R-ph ase, a novel cubic approximant for the icosahedral phase in the Zn-Mg-Er sy stem, is presented. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
