Abstract
The formation of icosahedral phase by mechanical alloying of crystalline elemental powder of Al, Cu and Fe has been investigated. The effect of milling time on the formation of icosahedral phase of nominal composition of Al65Cu20Fe15 has been studied using the X-ray diffraction technique. Further studies have been carried out by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray microanalysis (EDAX), particle size, magnetisation and ferromagnetic resonance studies. All these studies indicate that the icosahedral alloy shows soft ferromagnetic behaviour.
