Title: Structural sub-units of the Al-Mn-Pd decagonal quasicrystal derived from the structure of the T<sub>3</sub>Al-Mn-Zn phase
Abstract: Structural sub-units of the Al-Mn-Pd decagonal quasicrystal are derived from the structure of the T3 Al-Mn-Zn crystalline approximant and both atom positions and species are defined. The structure of the Al-Mn-Pd decagonal quasicrystal can be constructed by these subunits. The atom decoration of these structural sub-units is comparable to the single-crystal X-ray structure analysis. Meanwhile the high-resolution electron microscopy image of the Al-Mn-Pd decagonal quasicrystal can be explained as an aperiodic aggregation of these sub-units.
