High-resolution synchrotron X-ray study of icosahedrite, an icosahedral AlCuFe quasicrystal from the Khatyrka meteorite

Icosahedrite, natural icosahedral Al63Cu24Fe13, was discovered in a meteorite about 15 years ago. We have carried out a high-resolution X-ray diffraction study on a sample of this meteoritic mineral at the ESRF. The diffraction pattern turned out to be identical to an intermediate phase observed in...
