Abstract

Deformation experiments were performed on single crystals of the ξ-AIPdMn approximant in bending geometry at high temperature. Two different mechanisms of plastic deformation are shown to exist in this phase: one based on dislocations and another novel mechanism based on the motion of phason lines. Burgers vector and line directions of dislocations were determined. Phason lines are shown to build a periodic lattice. The interaction of a dislocation with the phason line lattice results in dislocations on another length scale. This meta-dislocation in the periodic phason line lattice has a Burgers vector of magnitude 165 Å. The relative importance of phason lines and dislocations for the plastic deformation is discussed as a function of the orientation of the sample with respect to the bending geometry.
