  abstract  = {The present work was carried out to compare the formation of single icosahedral phase during conventional heating and microwave processing. Al67Cu23Fe10 alloy powder was synthesized from high purity (99.9\%) powder elements by mechanical alloying. Differential scanning calorimetry combined with in-situ synchrotron energy dispersive X-ray diffraction was used to identify the main solid state reactions and the phase evolution of the powders. Inductive microwave processing in the magnetic field anti-node was performed to obtain the quasicrystalline phase in only a few seconds. Due to the rapid cooling of the sample it was possible to stabilize the icosahedral phase against its competing quasicrystalline approximants. Laboratory X-ray diffraction analysis was used to characterise the atomic structure of the specimen and scanning electron microscopy was used to characterise the microstructure after the microwave processing.},
