Atomic Self-diffusion in Quasicrystals
A molecular dynamics study on atomic self-diffusion in Frank-Kasper type dodecagonal quasicrystals is presented. It is found that the quasicrystal-specific flip mechanism for atomic diffusion, predicted by Kalugin and Katz, indeed occurs in this system. However, in order to be effective, this mechanism needs to be catalyzed by other defects, such as half-vacancies. For this reason, flip diffusi...
متن کاملPhason elasticity and atomic dynamics of quasicrystals
As the order of a quasicrystal is quasiperiodic, it can be described as an irrational cut through a periodic structure in a higher-dimensional space. This mathematical trick has important consequences for the low energy excitations that can occur. Translating the cut space to a different position is a symmetry operation, which changes the quasicrystal structure, but not its energy. A small brea...
متن کاملAtomic dynamics and diffusion in decagonal quasicrystals
The atomic dynamics of decagonal Al-Ni-Co and Al-Cu-Co quasicrystals is investigated by molecular dynamics simulations. Depending on the local environments, the mobility of the atoms varies greatly from site to site. Above two thirds of the melting temperature, a large fraction of the aluminium atoms become so mobile, that their diffusion can be measured directly in the simulation. As aluminium...
متن کاملCluster coverings as an ordering principle for quasicrystals
Cluster density maximization and (maximal) cluster covering have emerged as ordering principles for quasicrystalline structures. The concepts behind these ordering principles are reviewed and illustrated with several examples. For two examples, Gummelt’s aperiodic decagon model and a cluster model for octagonal Mn–Si–Al quasicrystals, these ordering principles can enforce perfectly ordered, qua...
متن کاملGabor Dual Spline Windows
An algorithm is presented for constructing dual Gabor window functions that are splines. The spline windows are supported in [−1, 1], with a knot at x = 0, and can be taken C smooth and symmetric. The translation and modulation parameters satisfy 0 < ab ≤ 1/2. The full range 0 < ab < 1 is handled by introducing an additional knot. Many explicit examples are found.
