Tiles in quasicrystals with quartic irrationality

چکیده

In 2003, Pelantová and Twarock did research into the number of, and types of, tiles found in 1-dimensional cut and project quasicrystals associated with 7-order symmetry. In this paper we extend this to symmetries of order 9 (degree 3), as well as orders 15, 16, 20 and 24 (degree 4). Some discussion of the next case, order 11 (degree 5), is given.

A Modification of the Penrose Aperiodic Tiling

From black and white linoleum on the kitchen floor to magnificent Islamic mosaic to the intricate prints of M.C. Escher, tilings are an essential component of the decorative arts, and the complex mathematical structure behind them has intrigued scientists, mathematicians, and enthusiasts for centuries. Johannes Kepler, most famous for his laws of planetary motion, was known to have been interes...

Constructing Penrose-like tilings from a single prototile and the implications for quasicrystals

We present two sets of rules for constructing quasiperiodic tilings that suggest a simpler structural model of quasicrystals and a more plausible explanation of why quasicrystals form. First, we show that quasiperiodic tilings can be constructed from a single prototile with matching rules which constrain the way that neighbors can overlap. Second, we show that maximizing the density of a certai...

Tile Hamiltonian for Decagonal AlCoCu

A tile Hamiltonian (TH) replaces the actual atomic interactions in a quasicrystal with effective interactions between and within tiles. We studied Al-Co-Cu decagonal quasicrystals described as decorated Hexagon-Boat-Star (HBS) tiles using ab-initio methods. The dominant term in the TH counts the number of H, B and S tiles. Phason flips that replace an HS pair with a BB pair lower the energy. In...

Methods for Calculating Empires in Quasicrystals

This paper reviews the empire problem for quasiperiodic tilings and the existing methods for generating the empires of the vertex configurations in quasicrystals, while introducing a new and more efficient method based on the cut-and-project technique. Using Penrose tiling as an example, this method finds the forced tiles with the restrictions in the high dimensional lattice (the mother lattice...

Stochastic Flips on Dimer Tilings

This paper introduces a Markov process inspired by the problem of quasicrystal growth. It acts over dimer tilings of the triangular grid by randomly performing local transformations, called flips, which do not increase the number of identical adjacent tiles (this number can be thought as the tiling energy). Fixed-points of such a process play the role of quasicrystals. We are here interested in...
