摘要:

在Al-Co-Cu合金系中,在20 at.%左右存在空间群为$P\overline{10}m2$的十次准晶和近似的单斜对称性为$Cm$的Al $_{13}$ Co $_4$相Co-10原子% Cu.在本研究中,我们研究了制备的Al-(30-x)at.%的晶体学特征,Co-x at.% Cu样品中,为了弄清Al $_{13}$ Co $_4$结构与十次准晶结构之间的晶体学关系,主要采用透射电子显微镜对样品进行了分析。结果表明,Al-20 at.%中存在十次准晶和近似的Al $_{13}$ Co $_4$相共存的状态Co-10原子%铜合金样品。借助共存态,建立了Al $_{13}$ Co $_4$单斜结构与十次准晶之间的取向关系。在所确定的关系中,发现准晶中的晶轴平行于Al $_{13}$ Co $_4$结构中的(010)$_{\rm m}$平面的法线方向,其中下标m表示单斜晶系。根据实验数据,在近自由电子近似下,用Hume Rothery(HR)机制研究了十次对称准晶的状态稳定性。结果表明,基于HR机制的模型可以解释十次对称准晶的电子衍射花样和原子排列等晶体学特征。也就是说,HR机制最适合于Al-Co-Cu合金系中十次准晶的稳定性。

英文摘要:

In the Al-Co-Cu alloy system, both the decagonal quasicrystal with the space group of $P\overline{10}m2$ and its approximant Al$_{13}$Co$_4$ phase with monoclinic $Cm$ symmetry are present around 20 at.% Co-10 at.% Cu. In this study, we examined the crystallographic features of prepared Al-(30-x) at.% Co-x at.% Cu samples mainly by transmission electron microscopy in order to make clear the crystallographic relation between the decagonal quasicrystal and the monoclinic Al$_{13}$Co$_4$ structure. The results revealed a coexistence state consisting of decagonal quasicrystal and approximant Al$_{13}$Co$_4$ regions in Al-20 at.% Co-10 at.% Cu alloy samples. With the help of the coexistence state, the orientation relationship was established between the monoclinic Al$_{13}$Co$_4$ structure and the decagonal quasicrystal. In the determined relationship, the crystallographic axis in the quasicrystal was found to be parallel to the normal direction of the (010)$_{\rm m}$ plane in the Al$_{13}$Co$_4$ structure, where the subscript m denotes the monoclinic system. Based on data obtained experimentally, the state stability of the decagonal quasicrystal was also examined in terms of the Hume-Rothery (HR) mechanism on the basis of the nearly-free-electron approximation. It was found that a model based on the HR mechanism could explain the crystallographic features such as electron diffraction patterns and atomic arrangements found in the decagonal quasicrystal. In other words, the HR mechanism is most likely appropriate for the stability of the decagonal quasicrystal in the Al-Co-Cu alloy system.
