2 Symko, Orest GeorgeFormation of AlCuFe quasicrystalline thin films by solid state diffusionWe show that thin films 3000 A in thickness of the icosahedral AlCuFe phase can be formed by solid state diffusion of sputtered Al, Cu, and Fe layers. As for bulk materials, we propose that the icosahedral phase grows by diffusion of the 0.1 in the A13Fe layer previously formed by interdiffusion of...AlCuFe; Quasicrystalline thin films; Solid state diffusion; Icosahedral phase1994
