The crystal structure of the Gamma(2) phase in the Fe-Zn-Al ternary system has been determined by single-crystal synchrotron X-ray diffraction combined with scanning transmission electron microscopy. The Gamma(2) phase possesses the gamma'-brass structure with the space group of F43m, similarly to the Gamma(1) phase in the Fe-Zn binary system. However, the Gamma(1) and Gamma(2) phases are not isostructural with each other because the constituent cluster types are different when described by the nested cluster model. Moreover, the crystal structure of the Gamma(2) phase can be classified into a new type of the gamma'-brass structure since it comprises a nested cluster (the Ti2Ni type with a cluster centre (CC) atom) which does not exist in any of the gamma'-brass structures ever reported. The unit cell of the Gamma(2) phase contains 32 Fe, 16 Al and 348 Zn atoms so that the compound is expressed with the chemical formula of Fe8Zn87Al4, and comprises Fe-centred Zn-12 and Zn9Al3 icosahedra, Zn-centred Zn-10 polyhedra and tetrapods consisting of split sites of Zn atoms with partial occupancies.
