Shock-synthesized quasicrystals

Quasicrystals (QCs) are unique materials, whose crystallographic identity has been controversial for many years. Using recent advances in shock synthesis, Hu et al. [(2020), IUCrJ, 7, 434–444] reproduce for the first time the formation conditions of the icosahedral Al(62)Cu(31)Fe(7) QC (i-phase II)...

Sumario:Quasicrystals (QCs) are unique materials, whose crystallographic identity has been controversial for many years. Using recent advances in shock synthesis, Hu et al. [(2020), IUCrJ, 7, 434–444] reproduce for the first time the formation conditions of the icosahedral Al(62)Cu(31)Fe(7) QC (i-phase II) found in the Khatyrka meteorite. The authors demonstrate that shock-recovery experiments provide a novel strategy for preparing and exploring QCs.
