A. Sadoc et al., Local atomic structure of icosahedral quasicrystals and 1/1 approximant inthe Ti-Ni-Zr alloy system, MAT SCI E A, 294, 2000, pp. 348-350
Extended X-ray absorption fine-structure (EXAFS) experiments were performed
above the Ti, Ni and Zr K absorption edges in the icosahedral Ti45Zr38Ni17
phase and in its 1/1 approximant, the Ti50Zr35Ni15 phase. The EXAFS spectr
a show a strong similarity for both samples, indicating that the local stru
ctures around the Ti, Ni and Zr atoms are similar in the icosahedral and 1/
1 phases. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
