Abstract

It is shown how the history of the growth of an icosahedral Zn-Mg-Y single grain can be determined by measuring the yttrium distribution. The growth mechanism and the stabilization of the icosahedral Zn-Mg-Y, RE (RE = rare earth: Ho, Er, Dy, Gd, Tb) quasicrystals are discussed with respect to structural investigations on related crystalline phases. We also show results of optical and ultrasonic investigations on icosahedral Zn-Mg-Y single crystals. They fit well to the discussed growth and stabilization mechanism.
