Scanning and transmission electron microscopy have been used along with x-ray diffraction in the Al − Pd − Fe system to establish a new type of B-centered rhombic N phase. The lattice constants of the N phase are as follows: a = 2.31 nm, b = 1.60 nm, and c = 4.70 nm. Electron-probe microanalysis establishes the composition: Al 76.6 Pd 10.0 Fe 13.4 . Differential thermal analysis indicates that the N phase melts incongruently at a temperature close to 885°C.The Al − Pd − Fe system belongs to the class of so-called quasicrystal-forming systems based on aluminum and transition metals, which have been the subject of extensive research in the last two decades. The reason was the discovery in 1984 by Shechtman [1] of a new class of solids that were called quasicrystals, as they have symmetry forbidden by classical crystallography.In the early works [2, p. 16; 3], which were concerned with the Al − Pd − Fe system in the region of Al contents from 50 to 100 at.% at 500°C, no stable ternary phase was found. At approximately the same time, a communication appeared on the formation of a stable decagonal phase (type D 4 , periodicity close to 1.6 nm), one-dimensional quasiperiodic phases (with the same periodicity along the tenfold pseudoaxis), and a monoclinic phase (a ≈ b ≈ 2.0 nm, c ≈ 1.6 nm, α ≈ 108°) in the region of compositions from 10 to 15 at.% Pd with a constant content of close to 75 at.% of aluminum, in addition to a cubic phase (a ≈ 2.05 nm) which is formed by decomposition of the metastable icosahedral phase of composition Al 70 Pd 10 Fe 20 [4].In this connection, the Al − Pd − Fe system was reexamined [5] in the region of aluminum contents from 50 to 100 at.% and iron up to 30 at.% at 900 and 750°C. It was found that three ternary cubic phases are formed: C′( 3 Pm , a = = 0.7654 nm), C 1 (P23, a ≈ 1.55 nm), and C 2 ( 3 Fm , a ≈ 1.5515 nm) as approximants of the icosahedral phase, as well as two ternary rhombic compounds: O 1 (B, a ≈ 2.3 nm, b ≈ 1.7 nm, c ≈ 3.2 nm) and O 2 (B, a ≈ 2.3 nm, b ≈ 1.7 nm, c ≈ ≈ 4.5 nm): ε 16 and ε 22 , in our symbols, which are approximants for the D 4 phase. The homogeneity region for the C′ phase was not established. None of the phases reported in [4] was found.In [6], there was reported a previously unknown rhombic phase O-Al 13 (Fe, Pd) 4 (Cmcb, a = 1.5473 nm, b = = 0.8132 nm, c = 2.3869 nm), whose structure is closely related to the binary monoclinic M-Al 13 Fe 4 (C2/m, a = = 1.5483 nm, b = 0.8079 nm, c = 1.2509 nm, and β = 108.11°) [7]; the structures of these two phases are related to that of the decagonal D 2 phase (periodicity close to 0.8 nm along the tenfold axis), since they can be described by the use of identical structure elements but differently disposed, namely two types of colonial pentagonal atomic clusters [6].
