Abstract

We have investigated anisotropic Hall coefficient of Y-Al-Ni-Co decagonal approximant of the Al76Co22Ni2 composition. The crystalline-direction-dependent studies were performed along three orthogonal directions a*, b and c of the Y-Al-Ni-Co unit cell, where (a,c) monoclinic atomic planes are stacked along the perpendicular b direction. Hall coefficient RH exhibits pronounced anisotropy, while at the same time the magnetic field in a given crystalline direction yields the same RH for the current along the other two crystalline directions in the perpendicular plane. The observed anisotropy is studied in terms of the anisotropic structure of the Y-Al-Ni-Co phase and Fermi surface. The results are compared to the anisotropy of the Hall coefficient of the d-Al-Ni-Co decagonal quasicrystal reported in literature.
