摘要
We report the observation of two kinds of octagonal-cubic transition to either the beta-Mn-type structure or the Mn3Si crystal following annealing Mn-Si-Al octagonal quasicrystal at different heating speeds. A theoretical analysis has been given and the simulated diffraction patterns match the experimental results well. It is confirmed that there exist two kinds of phason strain fields, which transform the octagonal phase into the two cubic crystalline phases, respectively. It is conjectured that the octagonal-cubic transitions feature the formation of local periodic structures.
