Abstract
Icosahedral Al-Pd-Mn and decagonal Al-Ni-Co quasicrystals were investigated
using small angle neutron scattering. Both isotropic and anisotropic scatt
ering were observed. It is consistent with the existence of free volume due
to dodecahedral and quasi-spherical voids in the icosahedral quasicrystal.
In the decagonal specimens prismatic holes and chemical inhomogeneities se
em to be responsible for scattering observed at small angles. (C) 2001 Else
