Abstract

A bcc phase (a=1.510-1.519nm), possibly isostructural with Cd ₆RE, exists in Ag₄₂In₄₂RE₁₆ alloys, where RE=Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, and Lu. In Ag₄₂In ₄₂Yb₁₆, however, a C-centered monoclinic phase (a=2.60nm, b=1.48nm, c=2.63nm, β≈108°) coexists with the icosahedral quasicrystal (IQC). All these crystalline phases show local pseudo-icosahedral symmetry.
