It has long been known that quasicrystal surfaces show low sliding friction and adhesion,
features that have led to practical applications, notably in cookware. Several mechanisms …

Electrical and thermal transport properties of quasicrystals are reviewed on the examples of i-
Ag–In–Yb and i-Al–Cu–Fe icosahedral phases and d-Al–Co–Ni decagonal phase. Using …

While the phenomenon of thermoelectricity is well understood from the physical point of
view, the chemical aspects of thermoelectric properties are still under consideration. This …

We have investigated anisotropic physical properties (magnetic susceptibility, electrical
resistivity, thermoelectric power, Hall coefficient, and thermal conductivity) of the o-Al 13 Co …

We have investigated the magnetic susceptibility, the electrical resistivity, the specific heat,
the thermoelectric power, the Hall coefficient, and the thermal conductivity of the Al 13 Fe 4 …

We have investigated anisotropic physical properties (magnetic susceptibility, electrical
resistivity, thermoelectric power, Hall coefficient, and thermal conductivity) of Y-Al-Ni-Co …

Abstract A Hard X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (HAXPES) characterisation of the
passivation layers formed by electrochemical polarisation of Al–Cr–Fe complex metallic …

Decagonal (d) quasicrystals are formed in a number of Al-based ternary systems with d-
AlCoNi being the best studied decagonal phase. They are highly anisotropic showing …

Complex metallic phases in the Al–Cr–Fe system are considered to be interesting because
of their enhanced resistance against corrosion. Single crystal growth of the Al4 (Cr, Fe) and …

To address the questions on the anisotropy of bulk physical properties of decagonal
quasicrystals and the intrinsic physical properties of the d-Al-Co-Ni phase, we investigated …
