Atomic structure and electron transport properties of the Al–Pd–Mn–Re–Si 1/1-cubic approximant.

The formation area of the Al–Pd–Mn–Re–Si 1/1-cubic approximant (1/1-AC) was determined by partially substituting Re for Mn in the Al–Pd–Mn–Si 1/1-AC. It was found that the Al–Pd–Mn–Re–Si 1/1-AC is stabilized at compositions expressed by the formula Al 67-0.125 x Pd 11+0.375 x Mn 14-1.25 x Re x Si 8 with Re concentration x ? [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
