Abstract

Abstract For the first time, the refinement of a decagonal Al72Ni20Co8 quasicrystal was conducted in physical space. We used a structure factor obtained in statistical approach. As a reference lattice we took a rhombic Penrose tiling to which we applied overlapping rules of clusters. The resulting structure gives R-factor = 8.0% and R w-factor = 6.1%. The density of the refined structure is very close to the experimental one.
