Abstract A high-angle annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM) study of the intermetallic compound Al74Cr15Fe11 reveals a novel kind of aperiodic order. In contrast to the common quasi-unit-cells based on Gummelt decagons, the present structure is related to a covering formed by Andritz decagons, which can also be described by a Hexagon-Bowtie (HB) tiling. This is the first observation of a decagonal quasicrystal with a structure significantly differing from the ones known so far.
