Abstract

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>Using STM, we show several off-stoichiometric impurity phases detected at the 2-fold Al–Pd–Mn quasicrystal surface. By comparing the observed surface structure to planes from similar bulk phases in the Al–Pd system, we identify these phases as <jats:italic>β</jats:italic>–Al–Pd and Pd<jats:sub>5</jats:sub>Mn<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>. <jats:italic>C</jats:italic> <jats:sub>60</jats:sub> is adsorbed at these domains, forming simple hexagonal close packed (hcp) structures. We identify potential adsorption schemes, and compare the adsorption behaviour to C<jats:sub>60</jats:sub> on the quasicrystalline phase.</jats:p>
