چکیده
A 3D quasiperiodic tiling derived from a cuboctabedron is obtained by projection from 6D lattice space to 3D tile-space, one less dimensional lattice space than the conventional one. A lattice matrix defining projections from 6D lattice space to tileand test-space is given and its geometric properties are investigated.

Quasiperiodic Tilings Derived from Deformed Cuboctahedra
3D quasiperiodic tilings derived from deformed cuboctahedra are obtained by projection from 7D or 6D lattice space to 3D tile-space. Lattice matrices defining the projections from 7D or 6D lattice space to tileand test-space are given by introducing a deformation parameter. Two types of lattice matrices are considered, orthonormal and row-wise orthogonal, both are corresponding to deformation o...
متن کاملQuasiperiodic Tilings: A Generalized Grid–Projection Method
We generalize the grid–projection method for the construction of quasiperiodic tilings. A rather general fundamental domain of the associated higher dimensional lattice is used for the construction of the acceptance region. The arbitrariness of the fundamental domain allows for a choice which obeys all the symmetries of the lattice, which is important for the construction of tilings with a give...
متن کاملQuasiperiodic patterns generated by mixing lattices derived from a dodecahedral star and an icosahedral star.
A 3D quasiperiodic pattern by projection from an nD lattice can be defined by an orthonormal n x n lattice matrix which produces basis vectors in pattern space with a prescribed arrangement and basis vectors in perpendicular or test space satisfying the quasicrystallographic condition. A 16 x 16 lattice matrix is derived which produces basis vectors in pattern space as a combination or mixing o...
متن کاملHigher-dimensional crystallography of N-fold quasiperiodic tilings.
Crystallography and periodic average structures (PASs) of two-dimensional (2D) quasiperiodic tilings with N-fold symmetry (N-QPTs with N = 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15) were studied using the higher-dimensional approach. By identifying the best (most representative) PASs for each case, it was found that the complexity of the PASs and the degree of average periodicity (DAP) strongly depend on the...
متن کاملOn Quasiperiodic Space Tilings, Inflation, and Dehn Invariants
Abstract We introduce Dehn invariants as a useful tool in the study of the inflation of quasiperiodic space tilings. The tilings by “golden tetrahedra” are considered. We discuss how the Dehn invariants can be applied to the study of inflation properties of the six golden tetrahedra. We also use geometry of the faces of the golden tetrahedra to analyze their inflation properties. We give the in...
