"Temperature dependence of the 8-angstrom superstructure in decagonal Al-Co-Ni";
Journal of Alloys and Compounds, 342 (2002), 1-2; 57 - 64.



English abstract:
Diffuse layers corresponding to an 8 Å superperiod along the `periodic´ axis of decagonal Al-Ni-Co phases were investigated by in situ X-ray and neutron diffraction at temperatures up to 980 °C. The diffuse layers consist of an unstructured diffuse background, diffuse bands, and diffuse maxima which (almost) all vanish above 900 °C, but show a different temperature dependence in detail. A tentative scenario of the related structural ordering process during cooling from high temperature is developed. A 1D-columnar cluster model is compared to the experimental results.
