New Cu-based P-type icosahedral quasicrystals have been observed in the ternary Cu–(Ga or Al)–Sc alloy systems. The Cu–Ga–Sc quasicrystal forms almost exclusively in a rapidly quenched Cu48Ga34Sc18 alloy, and has a six-dimensional lattice parameter a 6D = 0.6930 nm. The as-cast alloy with the same composition contains no quasicrystal but has a 1/1 bcc approximant as its main phase. The Cu–Al–Sc quasicrystal forms at the alloy composition Cu46Al38Sc16 both in an as-cast alloy and in alloys aged at 776 and 873 K, and has a lattice parameter a 6D = 0.6959 nm. Although electron diffraction patterns exhibit rather strong deviation from the ideal symmetric positions for weak reflections, the presence of the quasicrystal in the aged Cu–Al–Sc alloys indicates that this phase is a candidate of a stable phase in this ternary system.
