Pressure-volume data for i-Al64Cu23Fe13 from this study (black circles) and Takagi et al. (2015; empty circles) fitted using both a Murnaghan (black dotted line) and Birch-Murnaghan EOS (dashed green line). Our fit is compared with previous studies by Sadoc et al. (1994) and Lefebvre et al. (1995) both for icosahedral Al62Cu25.5Fe12.5 and for one approximant phase with composition Al64Cu24Fe12 (Lefebvre et al. 1995). The curves obtained from these previous studies are extrapolated up to 104 GPa assuming that no structural phase transformation occurs
