EXAFS study of an Al-Mn quasicrystalline alloy

Abstract
EXAFS measurements on the Mn K-absorption edge are reported for icosahedral Al86Mn14 alloy. Two models are proposed for the local structure of the Al-Mn quasicrystal. In the first model a Mn atom is surrounded by two types of Al atoms, while in the second one there are Al and Mn first neighbour atoms
