In this report, quasielastic neutron scattering experiments on the Al50Cu35
Ni15 alloy are briefly described. It is found that frequent jumps of Cu and
Ni atoms between different interstitial lattice positions are taking place
in this alloy at high temperature indicating that hopping motions are not
restricted to occur in systems with quasicrystalline local order. (C) 2000
