| dc.description | This paper concentrates on a comparison of Al 3p occupied densities of states in crystalline and quasicrystalline Al-Cu-Fe intermetallics. This comparison is made quantitative by computing the two first moments of this partial distribution, which correspond to the partial contribution of Al atoms to the cohesive energy of the material and to the orbital overlap modulated by the coordination number, respectively. From these data, we conclude that the icosahedral quasicrystal and its approximants represent a region of specifically enhanced stability in the Al-Cu-Fe phase diagram. We assign this effect to the specific role played by Al 3p states in the Hume-Rothery mechanism. We confirm the occurrence of a stronger hybridization between Al 3p and Fe 3d states in the icosahedral structure whereas we point out a weaker interaction with Cu 3d states in the icosahedral compounds as compared to stable approximants. |
