The crystal structure of the decagonal phase in the system Al–Ni–Rh ( d ‐Al‐Ni‐Rh) was analyzed in the five‐dimensional embedding approach based on single‐crystal synchrotron X‐ray diffraction data. The structure can be described as a quasiperiodic packing of partially overlapping decagonal and pentagonal columnar clusters with ∼ 21 Å diameter and ∼ 4 Å period along the tenfold axis.
