Decagonal quasiferromagnetic microstructure on the penrose tiling.

چکیده
The stable magnetization configurations of a ferromagnet on a quasiperiodic tiling have been derived theoretically. The magnetization configuration is investigated as a function of the ratio of the exchange to the dipolar energy. The exchange coupling is assumed to decrease exponentially with the distance between magnetic moments. It is demonstrated that for a weak exchange interaction the new structure, the quasiferromagnetic decagonal configuration, corresponds to the minimum of the free energy. The decagonal state represents a new class of frustrated systems where the degenerated ground state is aperiodic and consists of two parts: ordered decagon rings and disordered spin-glass-like phase inside the decagons.

Ternary Model of an Al-Cu-Co Decagonal Quasicrystal
We propose a structural model for decagonal Al-Cu-Co quasicrystals based upon existing experimental diffraction data supplemented by total energy calculations. The model is a decoration of tiles related to the Penrose rhombus tiling. Strong chemical ordering between Cu and Co leads to chains of alternating Cu and Co atoms. These chains project onto tile edges, where they define arrows. At low t...
متن کاملTiling models for metadislocations in AlPdMn approximants
The AlPdMn quasicrystal approximants ξ, ξ′, and ξ′ n of the 1.6 nm decagonal phase and R, T , and Tn of the 1.2 nm decagonal phase can be viewed as arrangements of cluster columns on two-dimensional tilings. We substitute the tiles by Penrose rhombs and show, that alternative tilings can be constructed by a simple cut and projection formalism in three dimensional hyperspace. It follows that in ...
متن کاملIn search of multipolar order on the Penrose tiling
Based on Monte Carlo calculations, multipolar ordering on the Penrose tiling, relevant for twodimensional molecular adsorbates on quasicrystalline surfaces and for nanomagnetic arrays, has been analyzed. These initial investigations are restricted to multipolar rotors of rank one through four—described by spherical harmonics Ylm with l = 1 . . . 4 and restricted to m = 0—positioned on the verti...
متن کاملThe quasiperiodic average structure of highly disordered decagonal Zn-Mg-Dy and its temperature dependence.
A single-crystal X-ray diffraction structure analysis of decagonal Zn-Mg-Dy, a Frank-Kasper-type quasicrystal, was performed using the higher-dimensional approach. For this first Frank-Kasper (F-K) decagonal quasicrystal studied so far, significant differences to the decagonal Al-TM-based (TM: transition metal) phases were found. A new type of twofold occupation domain is located on certain edg...
متن کاملTile Hamiltonians for Decagonal Phases
A tile Hamiltonian (TH) replaces the actual atomic interactions in a quasicrystal with effective interactions between and within tiles. We study Al-Co-Ni and Al-Co-Cu decagonal quasicrystals described as decorated Hexagon-Boat-Star (HBS) tiles using ab-initio methods. A dominant term in the TH counts the number of H, B and S tiles, favoring tilings of H and B only. In our model for Al-Co-Cu, ch...
