Planes and rows in icosahedral quasilattices

چکیده
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 and can be uniquely characterized by a strip-projection method from a two-dimensional periodic lattice. The same is valid for the sequence of vertices on each row. The vertex pattem in each single plane results from a strip-projection from 2 + 2 dimensions. In addition to several specific patterns we have determined the vertex occupation densities of planes and rows and their statistics. The families of planes with highest occupation densities correspond well to minima of backscattering profiles, which have been calculated in numerical simulation of heavy ion-channeling in the primitively decorated quasilattice.

One-dimensional Fibonacci Quasilattices and Their Application to the Euclidean Algorithm and Diophantine Equations
The one-dimensional quasilattices L lying in the square Fibonacci quasilattice F2 = F×F are classified; here F is the one-dimensional Fibonacci quasilattice. It is proved that there exists a countable set of similarity classes of quasilattices L in F2 (fine classification), and also four classes of local equivalence (rough classification). Asymptotic distributions of points in quasilattices L a...

We introduce the concept of a reflection quasilattice, the quasiperiodic generalization of a Bravais lattice with irreducible reflection symmetry. Among their applications, reflection quasilattices are the reciprocal (i.e. Bragg diffraction) lattices for quasicrystals and quasicrystal tilings, such as Penrose tilings, with irreducible reflection symmetry and discrete scale invariance. In a foll...
متن کاملFace-Transitive Polyhedra with Rectangular Faces and Icosahedral Symmetry
We describe three hexacontahedra in which the faces are rectangles, all equivalent under symmetries of the icosahedral group and having all edges in the mirror planes of the symmetry group. Under the restriction that adjacent faces are not coplanar, these are the only possible polyhedra of this kind.
متن کاملClassification of One - dimensional Quasilattices into Mutual Local - Derivability Classes
One-dimensional quasilattices, namely, the geometrical objects to represent quasicrystals, are classified into mutual local-derivability (MLD) classes on the basis of geometrical and number-theoretical considerations. Most quasilattices are ternary, and there exist an infinite number of MLD classes. For every MLD class, we can choose a self-similar member as its representative, and a non-self-s...

Large Angle Convergent Beam Electron Diffraction (LACBED) experiments on dislocations located in the mirror planes of icosahedral AlPdMn single grains show that – as previously inferred from standard image contrast technique – the direction of the Burgers vector is perpendicular to the mirror plane of movement, thus confirming the fact that climb should be an important process for the plasticit...
