Non-spiky density of states of an icosahedral quasicrystal
The density of states of the ideal three-dimensional Penrose tiling, a quasicrystalline model, is calculated with a resolution of 10 meV. It is not spiky. This falsifies theoretical predictions so far, that spikes of width 10-20 meV are generic for the density of states of quasicrystals, and it confirms recent experimental findings. The qualitative difference between our results and previous ca...
متن کاملTerrace selection during equilibration at an icosahedral quasicrystal surface
We investigate the equilibration of a fivefold surface of the icosahedral Al‐Pd‐Mn quasicrystal at 900–915 and 925–950 K, using scanning tunneling microscopy. After annealing at the lower temperatures, there is a high density of shallow voids on some terraces but not on others; at 925–950 K, the void-rich terraces are much rarer. The terminations that are consumed by voids exhibit a distinctive...
متن کاملDynamical x-ray diffraction from an icosahedral quasicrystal.
We present direct evidence of dynamical diffraction of x rays from a quasicrystal. High-resolution x-raydiffraction measurements of the Al-Pd-Mn face-centered icosahedral quasicrystal were performed, revealing a mosaic full width at half maximum of less than 0.001°. In a second experiment, the anomalous transmission of x rays (the Borrmann effect) was observed. These measurements show that near...
متن کاملComputational self-assembly of a one-component icosahedral quasicrystal.
Icosahedral quasicrystals (IQCs) are a form of matter that is ordered but not periodic in any direction. All reported IQCs are intermetallic compounds and either of face-centred-icosahedral or primitive-icosahedral type, and the positions of their atoms have been resolved from diffraction data. However, unlike axially symmetric quasicrystals, IQCs have not been observed in non-atomic (that is, ...
متن کاملThe local atomic quasicrystal structure of the icosahedral Mg25Y11Zn64 alloy
A local and medium range atomic structure model for the face centred icosahedral (fci) Mg25Y11Zn64 alloy has been established in a sphere of r = 27 Å. The model was refined by least squares techniques using the atomic pair distribution (PDF) function obtained from synchrotron powder diffraction. Three hierarchies of the atomic arrangement can be found: (i) five types of local coordination polyh...
