(color online) Temperature dependence of the averaged (squared). The abrupt change of the averaged indicates La50Al35Ni15 melt changes its state in LLT. The evolution of of individual elements La, Ni, and Al with temperature are also shown, respectively. The temperature-induced variations of of individual elements are coupled and influence each other. The preference of icosahedral order for one element could be at the cost of others (reproduced from [56]).
