  17. Magnetization vs. magnetic field and magnetic susceptibility Stronger diamagnetism for the field along 10-fold axis: atomic rings in the Q plane form diamagnetic circular current loops P P W. Steurer et al., Acta Cryst. B 49, 661 (1993)

  18. Conclusions • electrical, thermal and magnetic properties of d-Al-Co-Ni decagonal quasicrystal are highly anisotropic; • stacking direction is the most conducting direction for the electricity and heat; • origin of anisotropy is the anisotropic stacked-layer atomic structure.
