Abstract

The closest cubic approximant to the MCd_5.7 (M = Ca, Yb) quasicrystals known so far, namely Ca₁₃Cd₇₆, was obtained by high-temperature reaction of the elements. It exhibits a new type of structure for intermetallic compounds with an unprecedented arrangement of triacontahedral clusters (see structure), which could prove useful in modeling the structures of the MCd_5.7 quasicrystals.
