Abstract

A relationship between hexagonal phases in the Zn-Mg-RE (RE=rare earth) system and icosahedral quasicrystalline phase is discussed. There are three hexagonal phases in the vicinity of Zn6Mg3RE1 which are related with a lattice parameters by a ratio 3:5:7 but with approximately the same c parameters. A structural model for the phase with medium a lattice parameter is proposed based on the structures of the other two phases recently determined. We also show a preliminary result of X-ray diffraction study of the Zn-Mg-Ho icosahedral phase.
