Discussion of phasons in quasicrystals and their dynamics
Phasons are a type of excitation peculiar to quasicrystals and other incommensurate phases arising as a consequence of their spatial quasiperiodicity. Phason-related excitations are also observed in complex crystal structures known as approximants. This article briefly reviews the concepts of phasons with focus on current issues in their regard. We examine both continuum (hydrodynamic) and disc...
متن کاملIdeal AlMnSi quasicrystal : a structural model with icosahedral clusters
A model for Al(Si)Mn quasicrystals is proposed. It is characterized by pure quasiperiodic long range order with icosahedral symmetry. The density and concentrations fit to the experimental values. The interatomic distances are compatible with crystallographic data and compare well to the related 03B1 phase. A large number of icosahedral clusters (Mackay icosahedra) are present in the model. J. ...
متن کاملIcosahedral quasicrystals with continuous phasons
2014 A variety of models for icosahedral quasicrystals is constructed such that atoms move continuously under displacements along the phason space R3*, while their positions are separated by distances larger than some h > 0, a « hard core » diameter. The models exhibit icosahedral symmetry and the diffraction properties of perfect quasiperiodic structures. J. Phys. France 50 (1989) 3181-31...
متن کاملPhasons and the plastic deformation of quasicrystals
The plastic deformation of quasicrystals (QC) is ruled by two types of singularities of the QC order, singularities of the ‘phonon’ strain field, and singularities of the ‘phason’ strain field. In the framework of the general topological theory of defects, in which the QC is defined as an irrational subset of a crystal of higher dimension, both types of defects appear as distinct components of ...
متن کاملNear-field surface plasmons on quasicrystal metasurfaces
Excitation and manipulation of surface plasmons (SPs) are essential in developing cutting-edge plasmonic devices for medical diagnostics, biochemical spectroscopy and communications. The most common approach involves designing an array of periodic slits or grating apertures that enables coupling of the incident light to the SP modes. In recent years, plasmonic resonances, including extraordinar...
