Microstructure and chemistry of annealed Al-Cu-Fe-Cr quasicrystalline approximant coatings

An as-deposited Al-Cu-Fe-Cr film was annealed in flowing argon to study development of a quasicrystalline approximant microstructure. Sputter profile x-ray photoemission spectroscopy analysis showed oxygen incorporation reached approximately 70 at.% at the surface of the film, declined monotonically...
