In this cooperative research project between Dr. S.J. Poon and                  Dr. Gary Shiflet, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, and                  Dr. K.H. Kuo and Zhang Ze, Institute of Metal Research, Chinese                 Academy of Sciences, Shenyang, China, the structural and kinetic                properties of quasicrystalline phases in rapidly solidified metallic            alloys will be investigated.  Two alloys which are known to form                metallic glasses will be used as model systems for detailed studies.                                                                                            The discovery of a new class of ordered structures, known as                    icosahedral phases, in rapidly solidified metallic alloys has                   generated active interest and research efforts to determine the                 atomic-scale configuration and long range order of these new phases.            This project will attempt to reconcile predictions of certain                   structural models with electron and x-ray diffraction patterns                  obtained during the experiment.  It is hoped that this cooperative              effort will contribute to the understanding  of the formability,                stability, and structure of the novel class of materials.
