Aluminum L₂,3 soft-x-ray emission spectra have been observed for several aluminum-manganese alloys exhibiting icosahedral, decagonal, and the normal crystalline symmetries. The spectra of all the alloys are qualitatively similar and are slightly narrower ({~}0.2 eV) than the width observed for metallic aluminum. Compared to the sample with crystalline symmetry, the quasicrystals show no chemical shift and a decrease in the partial density of states of s and d symmetry at the Fermi energy, contradicting the predictions of several calculations.
