dc.description.abstract <p>An experimental comparison has been made between the properties of the surfaces of an Al<sub>70</sub>Pd<sub>21</sub>Mn<sub>9</sub>quasicrystal and its Al<sub>48</sub>Pd<sub>42</sub>Mn<sub>10</sub> approximant. The Al<sub>70</sub>Pd<sub>21</sub>Mn<sub>9</sub> sample was a single grain icosahedral quasicrystal cut to expose its five-fold symmetric (000001) surface. The approximant was polycrystalline β-phase Al<sub>48</sub>Pd<sub>42</sub>Mn<sub>10</sub>, which has a CsCl-type cubic structure. Surfaces of both were prepared under ultra-high vacuum (UHV) conditions and then used for comparative measurements of their frictional properties and oxidation rates. Both materials are oxidized by reaction with O<sub>2</sub> to form a thin film of aluminum oxide that ultimately passivates their surfaces. The interesting difference between the two is that the rate of oxidation of the approximant is significantly higher than that of the quasicrystal in spite of the fact that the bulk Al concentration of the approximant is lower than that of the quasicrystal. Friction measurements were made under UHV conditions between pairs of quasicrystals and pairs of approximants whose surfaces were either clean or oxidized to varying degrees. The friction between pairs of the approximant surfaces is significantly higher than that measured between the quasicrystal surfaces under all conditions of surface oxidation.</p>
