Abstract

We present here the first results on transport and magnetic properties in the new stable icosahedral Al1 – x – yPdxMny phases (x/y = 22/7.5, 21/8.5, 19/10). These melt-spun samples are of high structural quality even in the as-quenched state and present high-resistivity values which depend strongly on the nominal composition and structural quality with ρ4K - 10 000 MΩ cm in annealed Al70.5Pd22Mn7.5 and 1600 MΩ cm in as-quenched Al71Pd19Mn10. Moreover the system becomes more diamagnetic as its resistivity increases.
