摘要
The single quasicrystal elastic moduli c(ij) of decagonal Al-Ni-Co were determined using resonant ultrasound spectroscopy at selected fixed temperatures in the range between 5 and 290 K. Decagonal Al-Ni-Co is found to be transversely elastically isotropic to (0.02 +/- 0.04)%. The elastic moduli c(ij) (T) exhibit weak temperature dependences. The elastic Debye temperature Theta(D)(el) calculated from c(ij) measured at 5 K agrees well with the thermodynamic Debye temperature Theta(D)(th) obtained from a low-temperature specific-heat experiment.
