Fivefold Symmetry 1 N Real and Reciprocal Spaces

چکیده
Tetrahedrally close-packed structures with juxtaposed pentagonal antiprisms, such as the F, C14 Laves and the newly found C phases, were studied by means of HREM and SAD. It was found that each bright spot in the structural image corresponds to an antiprism. Differently oriented domains of these phases intergrow frequently with a fairly good match at the interphase boundary. All diffraction patterns of these phases show a fivefold distribution of spot-pairs, and it is shown that this fivefold symmetry comes from the pentagons and spot-pairs from two pentagonal prisms superposed in antisymmetrical positions.

The Extended Born’s Reciprocal Relativity Theory : Division, Jordan, N-ary Algebras, and Higher Order Finsler spaces
We extend the construction of Born’s Reciprocal Relativity theory in ordinary phase spaces to an extended phase space based on Quaternions. The invariance symmetry group is the (pseudo) unitary quaternionic group U(N+, N−,H) which is isomorphic to the unitary symplectic group USp(2N+, 2N−,C). It is explicitly shown that the quaternionic group U(N+, N−,H) leaves invariant both the quadratic norm...
متن کاملOn reciprocal symmetry
On the positive half-line, there are two natural, and complementary, analogues of the single notion of symmetry of distributions on the real line. One is the R-symmetry recently proposed and investigated by Mudholkar and Wang (2007); the other is the ‘log-symmetry’ investigated here. Log-symmetry can be thought of either in terms of a random variable having the same distribution as its reciproc...
متن کاملThe role of fivefold symmetry in suppressing crystallization
Although long assumed to have an important role in the suppression of crystallization and the development of glassformers, the effect of local fivefold symmetry has never been directly tested. Here we consider whether such suppression of crystallization has a kinetic or thermodynamic nature and investigate its mechanism. We introduce a model in which the degree of fivefold symmetry can be tuned...
متن کاملElastic theory of icosahedral quasicrystals – application to straight dislocations
In quasicrystals, there are not only conventional, but also phason displacement fields and associated Burgers vectors. We have calculated approximate solutions for the elastic fields induced by two-, threeand fivefold straight screwand edge-dislocations in infinite icosahedral quasicrystals by means of a generalized perturbation method. Starting from the solution for elastic isotropy in phonon ...
متن کاملNon-Crystallographic Symmetry in Packing Spaces
In the following, isomorphism of an arbitrary finite group of symmetry, non-crystallographic symmetry (quaternion groups, Pauli matrices groups, and other abstract subgroups), in addition to the permutation group, are considered. Application of finite groups of permutations to the packing space determines space tilings by policubes (polyominoes) and forms a structure. Such an approach establish...
