Periodic average structures of colloidal quasicrystals.
We experimentally study the phase behaviour of a charge-stabilized two-dimensional colloidal monolayer which is subjected to a one-dimensional quasiperiodic substrate potential. Upon increasing the laser intensity, we observe a transition from a periodic to a quasiperiodic state. It proceeds via the formation of an intermediate periodic average structure (PAS) which is related to the quasiperio...
متن کاملOptimized structures for photonic quasicrystals.
A photonic quasicrystal consists of two or more dielectric materials arranged in a quasiperiodic pattern with noncrystallographic symmetry that has a photonic band gap. We use a novel method to find the pattern with the widest TM-polarized gap for two-component materials. Patterns are obtained by computing a finite sum of density waves, assigning regions where the sum exceeds a threshold to a m...
متن کاملPeriodic almost-Schrödinger equation for quasicrystals
A new method for finding electronic structure and wavefunctions of electrons in quasiperiodic potential is introduced. To obtain results it uses slightly modified Schrödinger equation in spaces of dimensionality higher than physical space. It enables to get exact results for quasicrystals without expensive non-exact calculations.
متن کاملA multigrid approach to the average lattices of quasicrystals.
An average structure associated with a given quasilattice is a system composed of several average lattices that in reciprocal space produces strong main reflections. The average lattice of a quasicrystal is a useful concept closely related to the geometric description of the quasicrystal to crystal transformation and has been proved to be structurally significant. Here we calculate average stru...
متن کاملColloidal quasicrystals with 12-fold and 18-fold diffraction symmetry.
Micelles are the simplest example of self-assembly found in nature. As many other colloids, they can self-assemble in aqueous solution to form ordered periodic structures. These structures so far all exhibited classical crystallographic symmetries. Here we report that micelles in solution can self-assemble into quasicrystalline phases. We observe phases with 12-fold and 18-fold diffraction symm...
