Fabrication Of High Quality Qc Films Via The Route Of The Amorphous Phase
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 February 2011
Abstract
We discuss the preparation of thin icosahedral films (Al-Cu-Fe and Al-Pd-Re) via the route of the amorphous (a-)phase which in some aspects is a precursor to the icosahedral phase. A direct transition from the a- to the i-phase occurs for Al-Cu-Fe films at 430°C on the time scale of minutes. The resulting films are of good quality as shown by diffraction and electronic transport properties. The surface of the resulting films is very smooth.
