Abstract

In an effort to understand the effects of a quartenary element introduced into a ternary quasicrystalline system, quartenary Al71Pd21Mn8−XReX quasicrystals were grown, where X had values of 0, 0.08, 0.25, 0.4, 0.8, 2, 5, and 8. X-ray data confirm that the addition of a fourth element does not alter the quasiperiodicity of the sample. Because electronic transport is governed by different mechanisms in the parent systems (Al71Pd21Mn8 and Al71Pd21Re8), electrical and thermal transport measurements in the alloyed system have been performed on these samples and are presented here.
