Abstract: | LargeT
2 (Al6Li3Cu) crystals which display apparent five-fold symmetry have been studied using several different electron microscopy techniques.
Electron microprobe X-ray analysis was used to determine the phases present in two different alloys cast with bulk compositions
close to stoi-chiometricT
2. Convergent beam electron diffraction (CBED) of these crystals indicates that they do not display five-fold rotational symmetry,
and TEM images and selected area diffraction from thin foil specimens indicate a microcrystalline or twinned structure is
responsible for the apparent five-fold symmetry ofT
2. Microdiffraction patterns obtained from the thinnest regions of the crystals are consistent with a cubic structure having
a lattice parameter of ≈0.40 nm. |
