Rhombic triacontahedral-type icosahedral quasicrystal and its 1/1 and 2/1 approximants in Al-Mg-Zn alloy system were systematically studied by means of positron-annihilation lifetime measurements and positron-annihilation lifetime and Doppler-broadening measurements using the slow-positron-beam technique. We could successfully derive the structural vacancy density in this alloy system. The structural vacancy densities were∼ 4.56× 10− 3 for the 1/1 approximants, 4.82× 10− 3 for the 1/2 approximant, and 5.05× 10− 3 for the icosahedral quasicrystal. In addition, the positron motions were investigated. The average positron-diffusion length, average positron-diffusion length in matrix, positron-diffusion coefficient, and positron mobility in this alloy system including the icosahedral quasicrystal were estimated. The positron-diffusion coefficients for the 1/1 approximants were almost identical (∼ 1.79 cm 2 s− 1) to each other, but decrease down to 1.61× 10− 1 cm 2 s− 1 for the 2/1 approximant and 1.44× 10− 1 cm 2 s− 1 for the icosahedral quasicrystal. This first experimental estimation was performed by coupling the positron-annihilation lifetime measurements to the positron-annihilation Doppler-broadening measurements using the slow-positron beam excellently. The results indicated that the thermarized positrons in matrix tend to localize as the order of the approximant increases.
