Modulations in B8-type Intermetallics
The B8-type regions of the Mn-Sn and Cu-In systems have been investigated by means of electron and X-ray diffraction. The importance of the combination of these techniques in the study of B8-type phases is pointed out. In addition to the B8-type phases an alloy with a quasicrystal approximant structure has been studied. In the Mn-Sn system at least three B8-type phases exist. An X-ray powder patt
