The nature of the five-fold surface of Al(70)Pd(21)Mn(9) has been
investigated using scanning tunneling microscopy. From high resolution images
of the terraces, a tiling of the surface has been constructed using pentagonal
prototiles. This tiling matches the bulk model of Boudard et. al. (J. Phys.:
Cond. Matter 4, 10149, (1992)), which allows us to elucidate the atomic nature
of the surface. Furthermore, it is consistent with a Penrose tiling T^*((P1)r)
obtained from the geometric model based on the three-dimensional tiling
T^*(2F). The results provide direct confirmation that the five-fold surface of
i-Al-Pd-Mn is a termination of the bulk structure.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
