Quasicrystalline Combinatorics

چکیده
Several combinatorial problems of (quasi)crystallography are reviewed with special emphasis on a unified approach, valid for both crystals and quasicrystals. In particular, we consider planar sublattices, similarity sublattices, coincidence sublattices and their module counterparts. The corresponding counting functions are encapsulated in Dirichlet series generating functions, with worked out results for the square lattice and the Tübingen triangle tiling. Finally, we discuss a novel approach to central and averaged shelling for these examples, also involving Dirichlet series.

Shapes of the Icosahedral Quasicrystalline Phase in Melt-spun Ribbons
T. Bončina, University of Maribor, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Maribor, Slovenia The shapes of icosahedral quasicrystalline (IQC) particles were determined in melt-spun ribbons of alloys based on the Al-Mn-Be alloy system. The sizes of the quasicrystalline particles ranged from a few tenths of nanometres up to 1 μm. Therefore, diff erent methods were employed for characterizing their sha...
متن کاملLaser processing and microstructure of Al-Cu-Fe quasicrystalline coatings on Al-base materials
There is a large interest in using high power lasers for surface alloying or cladding on aluminium alloys, in order to enhance hardness and to improve wear resistance. A partly quasicrystalline surface layer (QC) (Al-Cu-Fe coating) has been obtained by laser cladding on Al-base materials. In addition to crystalline phases (Al5Fe2 and AlisFe4t -with dissolved copper), a quasicrystalline Al-Cu-Fe...
متن کاملQuasicrystalline tilings with nematic colloidal platelets.
Complex nematic fluids have the remarkable capability for self-assembling regular colloidal structures of various symmetries and dimensionality according to their micromolecular orientational order. Colloidal chains, clusters, and crystals were demonstrated recently, exhibiting soft-matter functionalities of robust binding, spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking, entanglement, shape-driven and to...
متن کاملFormation of alpha-approximant and quasicrystalline Al-Cu-Fe thin films
Multilayered Al/Cu/Fe thin films have been deposited by magnetron sputtering onto Si and Al2O3 substrates with a nominal global composition corresponding to the quasicrystalline phase, 5:2:1. Subsequent annealing was performed on samples up to 710 °C. It is found that when using Si as substrate a film-substrate reaction occurs already below 390 °C, where Si diffuses into the film. This changes ...
متن کاملCorrigendum: Efficient design, accurate fabrication and effective characterization of plasmonic quasicrystalline arrays of nano-spherical particles
In this paper, the scattering properties of two-dimensional quasicrystalline plasmonic lattices are investigated. We combine a newly developed synthesis technique, which allows for accurate fabrication of spherical nanoparticles, with a recently published variation of generalized multiparticle Mie theory to develop the first quantitative model for plasmonic nano-spherical arrays based on quasic...
