A new kind of phasonic entropy-stabilized decagonal quasicrystal (space group P10/mmm) was observed in the Zn–Mg–Y system, in addition to an icosahedral quasicrystal and a decagonal quasicrystal (space group P105/mmc) which have been reported previously. This decagonal quasicrystal can be modeled with dense packing of icosahedrons at vertices of fat rhombic and flattened hexagonal tiles.
