Description: This photograph shows decagonal bar morphology of a Al-Ni-Co quasicrystal. The flux growth technique appears to be a powerful and versatile tool to prepare most of the known quasicrystal systems. The single-grain samples resulting from such growths are large, very well-ordered, strain-free, and show no evidence of secondary phases.
