Abstract

A new cubic complex metallic alloy phase, Cr 22 Zn 72 Sn 24 , with a lattice parameter near 2.5 nm was discovered in crystals grown using a Zn/Sn flux. The structure consists of Russian doll clusters or a 3-d network of Cr-centered icosahedra (shown) with bcc-metal fragments in void spaces.
