In the present investigation, we have studied leaching on polygrain Al-based quasicrystalline (i-Al_{63}Cu_{25}Fe_{12}) as well as crystalline (B2 phase; Al_{55}Cu_{30}Fe_{15}) alloy surfaces using a 10 mole NaOH solution. The surface was leached at varying times from 30 min to 8 h and subsequently characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and...
Scanning tunneling microscopy is employed to characterise the structure and morphology of the (100) surface of the Ag-In-Gd 1/1 approximant. The surface prepared by the usual method of sputter-annealing produces step-terrace structure. Observed step heights are consistent with the lattice constant of the bulk. Scanning tunneling microscopy on terraces reveals cluster-like protrusions arranged with...
