Show affiliationsWe present here an overview of surface and interface studies on various quasicrystals, focusing on areas where reflection high-energy electron diffraction plays an important role. Subjects included here are sputter-induced crystalline layers, surface alloying and epitaxial films. These phenomena are observed on the high symmetry surface of Al-based quasicrystals, such as decagonal Al–Ni–Co, icosahedral (i) Al–Cu–Fe and i-Al–Cu–Ru. For comparison, studies on i-Ag–In–Yb quasicrystal, an isostructure of the binary i-Cd–Yb quasicrystal, and ξ'-Al–Pd–Mn approximant are also included.
