Atomic models of ε<subscript>n</subscript> structural variants - Overview.

The present work is focused on the overview of atomic models of ε n decagonal quasi crystalline approximants in the Al-Pd-Co system. Atomic structural models of the structural variants ε 6 , ε 16 , ε 22 , ε 28 and ε 34 were created using ab-initio calculations and/or Monte Carlo simulation. Atomic models were calculated based on the experimental results obtained by X-ray diffraction and scanning transmission electron microscopy. Good agreement was obtained between calculated and experimentally observed atomic structures of the ε n phase. The calculated data for the structural variant ε 28 are available in the appendix, as CIF file in text format. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
