Abstract
A triple-axis neutron-scattering experiment has been performed on a large single-grain sample of an icosahedral Al-Mn-Pd quasicrystal. The scattering plane in reciprocal space was a binary plane of the quasicrystal. The intensities of the quasielastic signals collected were compared with model calculations assuming isolated single-particle jumps along two-, three-, and fivefold axes of the quasicrystal. The agreement turned out to be unsatisfactory. We were able to explain the experimental data only by assuming the existence of correlated simultaneous jumps of several atoms.
