We have studied fluid-solid phase transformations of materials
interacting via the Dzugutov potential 
(Phys.
Rev.A 46, R2984 (1992)).
We present evidence from molecular dynamics simulations that this
interaction does not exhibit a liquid phase. If a mixed potential
Vmix(r) is formed by a linear superposition of
and the Lennard-Jones potential 
, then the liquid phase
disappears at a fraction of less than 60% .
