More on``Atomic motions in the crystalline Al₅₀Cu₃₅Ni₁₅ alloy''

Coddens, Gerrit

Original · EN

We refute recent claims that ultrafast atomic jumps as observed in quasicrystals (QC) could be called phasons in many crystalline alloys by pointing out that there is a genuine conceptual difference between the hopping dynamics in an imperfect crystal containing a substantial number of vacancies, and the hopping dynamics due to phason motion in QC.
