Sažetak
The crystallographic-direction-dependent transport measurements were performed on large single crystals [1] of d-Al-Ni-Co with the exact composition Al69.7Co10.0Ni20.3. The measurements were performed along three orthogonal directions which are: [00001] direction (periodic one, and that of the 10-fold axis of d-phase), and [10-00] and [10000] directions which are the of two different 2-fold axes in the quasiperiodic plane. Anisotropic electrical resistivity, ρ, thermopower, S, and thermal conductivity, κ, were measured from 2 to 300 K and the Hall coefficient, RH, was measure from 90 to 379 K. As expected, the anisotropy of the electrical resistivity, thermopower and thermal conductivity measured along 2-fold axes is small or negligible, and the anisotropy of RH for magnetic field, B, along 2-fold axes is within the experimental error. At the same time there is a significant anisotropy in ρ, S, and κ values obtained for 2-fold axes and those measured for the periodic [00001] direction. In the Hall effect this anisotropy corresponds to the anisotropy of RH for B parallel to [00001] (RH < 0) and for B parallel to 2-fold axes (RH > 0). The results agree well with the previous results for d-QCs [2-4] which are either performed on samples of the lesser quality or are incomplete in the sense that are not performed for the two distinct 2-fold axes. Also, there is correlation of the anisotropy in the transport properties of d-QCs and the anisotropy in Al13TM4 class of the approximants to decagonal quasicrystals [5-7].References: [1] B.
