dc.description.abstractQuasicrystals (QCs), first discovered in 1984, generally do not exhibit long-range magnetic order. Here, we report on long-range magnetic order in the real icosahedral quasicrystals (i QCs) Au–Ga–Gd and Au–Ga–Tb. The Au65Ga20Gd15 i QC exhibits a ferromagnetic transition at TC = 23 K, manifested as a sharp anomaly in both magnetic-susceptibility and specific-heat measurements. Quick magnetic saturation to almost the full moment (7μB/Gd3+) is observed under 100 Oe at 2 K. This is the first observation of long-range magnetic order in a real quasicrystal, in contrast to the spin-glass-like behaviours observed for the other magnetic quasicrystals found to date. Moreover, when Gd is replaced by Tb, i.e. for the Au65Ga20Tb15 i QC, a ferromagnetic behaviour is still retained with TC = 16 K. Although the sharp anomaly in the specific heat observed for the Au65Ga20Gd15 i QC is significantly broadened upon Tb substitution, neutron-diffraction experiments clearly show the marked development of magnetic Bragg peaks below TC, indicating long-range magnetic order for the Au65Ga20Tb15 i QC also. Our findings can contribute to the further investigation of exotic magnetic orders formed on real quasiperiodic lattices with unprecedented highest global symmetry, i.e. icosahedral symmetry. © This work is licensed under a CC BY 4.0 License.en_AU
