Quasiperiodic ordering in thick Sn layer on i-Al-Pd-Mn: A possible quasicrystalline clathrate
Realization of an elemental solid-state quasicrystal has remained a distant dream so far in spite of extensive work in this direction for almost two decades. In the present work, we report the discovery of quasiperiodic ordering in a thick layer of elemental Sn grown on icosahedral (i)-Al-Pd-Mn. The...
