Abstract

The icosahedral phase has been produced by pulsed laser melting of thin films of Mn-implanted Al. With increasing laser intensity, we observe a mixture of icosahedral and fee phases followed by a single phase fee region. Grains as large as 1 μm in diameter have been observed in 0.1 μm thick films. Electron diffraction studies of individual icosahedral grains indicate that the rapid growth direction from the melt is along the threefold symmetry axis.
