Abstract

Localized moments are observed on a small fraction of the Mn atoms in Al-Pd-Mn and Al-Mn quasicrystals while a large proportion of magnetic moments is found in liquids in equilibrium with these quasicrystalline phases. As magnetic sites cannot be identified in quasicrystals because of the very small number of Mn atoms involved, we have studied the case of approximant phases in both Al-Mn and Al-Pd-Mn systems. Most of the approximants are non- magnetic but magnetic moments are present on a fraction of the Mn sites in the μ-Al4Mn phase and in the Mn-rich TAlPdMn phase. From both experimental and theoretical investigations, the magnetic sites are identified in these phases. The moment formation can be explained by analysing the local environment of the Mn atoms and indirect Mn-Mn interactions mediated by conduction electrons on relatively large distances. A clear picture of the origin of magnetism in quasicrysals, approximants and liquids in the Al-Mn and Al-Pd-Mn systems can therefore be obtained.
