Ion-beam channeling in a quasicrystal

Abstract
We have observed ion-beam channeling in a quasicrystal. For 1-MeV He+4 ions in icosahedral Al-Cu-Fe the maximum effect found is 36%. The full width at half maximum of the observed dips is 1.3°. The effect persists up to great depths (>200 nm), thus showing a high degree of ordering in this phase.
