Abstract

Sputtering with Ar+ ions induces structural phase transitions at the pentagonal surface of the icosahedral quasicrystal Al70Pd20Mn10. Sputtering at different temperatures changes the surface composition, thereby stabilizing different structures. At room temperature, the structure changes to body-centered cubic but, at elevated temperatures, it displays decagonal symmetry. In both cases, annealing the sample restores both the bulk composition and the icosahedral symmetry of the original surface.
