Abstract The symmetry of the basic atom cluster and the space group of the decagonal quasicrystal of an annealed Al65Cu15Co20, alloy have been investigated by high-resolution electron microscopy and convergent-beam electron diffraction. It has been revealed that the symmetry of the clusters projected along the c-axis (decagonal axis) is pentagonal and that the space group is P105/mmc. Decagonal quasicrystals of melt-quenched Al-Cu-Co alloys, which belong to the space group of P 10 m2, were previously found to have pentagonal clusters (Saitoh et al. 1994, Mater. Sci. Engng A, 181–182, 805). Therefore, the symmetry of the atom clusters projected along the c-axis is pentagonal in the Al-Cu-Co quasicrystals irrespective of specimen preparation methods. The space group of melt-quenched Al-Cu-Co alloys changes from P 10 m2 to P105/mmc at about 600°C. In the P 10 m2 phase, the inversion domains are several tens of nanometres in size and all the clusters in one domain have the same sense of polarity. Thus, either...
