Stable Quasicrystalline Ground States
نویسنده
چکیده
We give a strong evidence that noncrystalline materials such as quasicrystals or incommensurate solids are not exceptions but rather are generic in some regions of a phase space. We show this by constructing classical lattice gas models with translationinvariant, finite-range interactions and with a unique quasiperiodic ground state which is stable against small perturbations of two-body potentials. More generally, we provide a criterion for stability of nonperiodic ground states.

Quantum quasicrystals of spin-orbit-coupled dipolar bosons.
We study quasi-two-dimensional dipolar Bose gases in which the bosons experience a Rashba spin-orbit coupling. We show that the degenerate dispersion minimum due to the spin-orbit coupling, combined with the long-range dipolar interaction, can stabilize a number of quantum crystalline and quasicrystalline ground states. Coupling the bosons to a fermionic species can further stabilize these phas...
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 کاملThermodynamically Stable One-Component Quasicrystals: A Density-Functional Survey of Relative Stabilities
A combination of classical density-functional theory and thermodynamic perturbation theory is applied to a survey of finite-temperature trends in the relative stabilities of one-component crystals and quasicrystals interacting via effective metallic pair potentials derived from pseudopotential theory. Splitting the pair potential into a strongly repulsive short-range core and a relatively weak ...

We consider the low temperature ordered phases discrete model with nondegenerate periodic ground of general classical statistical mechanical models, state. A small change in the external conditions could allowing several species of structureless particles not produce such a local effect in the ground state; as interacting through translation invariant, short range long as the period remains bou...
متن کاملStability and atomic motifs of quasicrystalline models
2014 By numerical relaxation with interatomic pair potentials, we study the stability of quasicrystalline models. A monoatomic model and a AlMnSi model are found stable and we present their partial pair distribution functions. These quasicrystalline structures are described by 3D cross sections through 3D atomic motifs in a 6D space. During the relaxation, atoms move from their initial position...
