A family of binary magnetic icosahedral quasicrystals based on rare earths and cadmium
2013
Overview
At present, there are no known examples of binary icosahedral quasicrystals featuring localized magnetic moments. Now, a family of magnetic binary icosahedral quasicrystals is discovered, offering the possibility of studying the behaviour of coupled magnetic interactions in the presence of aperiodic structural order.
Examples of stable binary icosahedral quasicrystals are relatively rare, and at present there are no known examples featuring localized magnetic moments. These would represent an ideal model system for attaining a deeper understanding of the nature of magnetic interactions in aperiodic lattices. Here we report the discovery of a family of at least seven rare earth icosahedral binary quasicrystals, i-R–Cd (R = Gd to Tm, Y), six of which bear localized magnetic moments. Our work highlights the importance of carefully motivated searches through phase space

), binary quasicrystalline phases may well exist nearby known crystalline approximants, perhaps as peritectically forming compounds with very limited liquidus surfaces, offering very limited ranges of composition/temperature for primary solidification.
