Abstract

The stability of i-Cd–Yb was studied between ambient temperature and 90 K using single-crystal diffraction. To study the influence of mechanical stress at low temperatures, a modified grinding-jar housing was constructed and ball-milling experiments were carried out at 77 K. In neither case structural changes were observed. This indicates the thermodynamic stability of this binary quasicrystal.
