Escudero, F. Morales ? Instituto de Investigaciones en Materiales, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Apartado Postal 70-360, México, D. F. 04510, México article info Article history: Received 9 December 2015 Received in revised form 22 February 2016 Accepted 23 February 2016 Available online 02 March 2016 Keywords: Quasicrystals Electronic density of states Pseudogap Point Contact Spectroscopy Tunnel spectroscopy abstract According to theoretical predictions the quasicrystalline (QC) electronic density of states (DOS) must have a rich and ?ne spiky structure which actually has resulted elusive. The problem with its absence may be related to poor structural characteristics of the studied specimens, and/or to the non-existence of this spike characteristic. Recent calculations have shown that the ?ne structure indeed exists, but only for two dimensional approximants phases. The aim of the present study is to show our recent experimental studies with point contact tunnel junction spectroscopy performed in samples of very high quality. The studies were performed in icosahedral QC alloys with composition Tb9Mg35Zn56. We found the presence of a pseudogap feature at the Fermi level, small as compared to the pseudogap of other icosahedral materials. This study made in different spots on the QC shows quite different spectroscopic features, where the observed DOS was a ?ne non-spiky structure, distinct to theoretical predictions. In some regions of the specimens the spectroscopic features could be related to Kondo characteristics due to Tb magnetic atoms acting as impurities. Additionally, we observed that the spectroscopic features vanished under magnetic ?eld. ? 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. 1. Introduction
