Structure of the orthorhombic form of Mn(2)Al(7), Fe(2)Al(7), and (Mn(0.7)Fe(0.3))(2)Al(7) that by twinning produces grains with decagonal point-group symmetry

Analysis of electron diffraction photographs of grains of Mn(2)Al(7), Fe(2)Al(7), and (Mn(0.7)Fe(0.3))(2)Al(7) leads to the conclusion that they are 5-fold twins of a 1664-atom orthorhombic crystal with a = 32.86 A, b = 31.23 A, and c = 24.80 A and with 16 icosahedral clusters of 104 atoms in positions shifted by small amounts from those of the cubic beta-tungsten structure.
