ON ELECTRONIC PROPERTIES OF Al-Mn QUASICRYSTALS

Abstract
We present the results on structural and electronic properties of the melt-spun Al-Mn alloys (10 to 18 at% Mn) which contain more than 50 vol% of the quasicrystalline (qX) phase. The analysis of our data enables us to estimate the resistivity of the qX phase to be ~150-200 µ Ωcm. High resistivity and high (meta)stability of quasicrystals can be understood within Friedel model of virtual bound states
