Thin film of Al-Ga-Pd-Mn quasicrystalline alloy

Abstract

Thin film quasicrystal coatings have unique properties such as very high electrical and thermal resistivity and very low surface energy. A nano quasicrystalline thin film of icosahedral Al-Ga-Pd-Mn alloy, has produced by flash evaporation followed by annealing. Attempts will be made to discuss the micromechanisms for the formation of quasicrystalline thin film in Al-Ga-Pd-Mn alloys
