Stability of the hard-sphere icosahedral quasilattice.

چکیده
The stability of the hard-sphere icosahedral quasilattice is analyzed using the differential formulation of the generalized effective liquid approximation. We find that the icosahedral quasilattice is metastable with respect to the hardsphere crystal structures. Our results agree with recent findings by McCarley and Ashcroft [Phys. Rev. B 49, 15600 (1994)] carried out using the modified weighted density approximation. 61.44.+p; 64.70.Dv; 64.10.+h Typeset using REVTEX 1

On the Theory of a Non-Periodic Quasilattice Associated with the Icosahedral Group
A quasilattice in the euclidean space E is generated by dualization of a hexagrid. The construction is based on a general theory of periodic and non-periodic space filling by projection from hypergrids. Global and local properties of the quasilattice are discussed, including the structure factor, the form and packing of the cells, and the point symmetry. The quasilattice is expected to give a d...

متن کاملNEUTRON DIFFRACTION STUDIES OF THE ICOSAHEDRAL PHASE OF Al-Mn ALLOYS
Powder neutron diffraction studies were performed on three icosahedral alloys of the aluminum manganese system containing 27, 30. and 34 weight percent manganese. All peaks were found at the angles consistent with the icosahedral indexing with a six-dimensional cubic lattice parameter of approximately 0.65 nm that decreased with increasing Mn content. The relative intensities differ significant...
متن کاملPlanes and rows in icosahedral quasilattices
The planar and linear substructures of a threedimensional icosahedral AmmannKramer-Penrose quasilattice have been analysed. Infinitely many families of planes and rows are existing such that each family covers all vertices of the quasilattice. The members of a family of parallel planes are separated by at least three but a finite number of different distances, whose sequence is quasiperiodic an...
متن کاملIcosahedral Alloys : Phase Purity and Phason Strains
We present a survey of x-ray and electron diffraction studies of Aluminumn Metal alloys. The icosahedral phase is found in A1 alloyed with Mn, Cr, V, Mo, Ru, W, and Re. The effect of adding small amounts of Si and Ru to the binary alloys is discussed. We review the advantages and disadvantages of various indexing schemes. Distortions of electron diffraction pictures are described in terms of ph...
