Additional information
Smerdon conducted experiments, analysed data and wrote the paper. Parle and Wearing assisted with sample preparation; Lograsso and Ross grew the sample and McGrath was supervisor. This was the first comprehensive study of the epitaxial growth of a quasicrystalline layer, and proved very important in subsequent investigations, as it turns out that the identified nucleation site network is in fact universal for single-element quasicrystals grown on Al-Pd-Mn.
