Dodecagonal Tilings as Maximal Cluster Coverings
نویسنده
چکیده
It is shown that the Socolar tiling, which is quasiperiodic and 12-fold symmetric , can be characterized as the unique tiling which is maximally covered by a suitably pair of clusters. Analogous results can be obtained also for other dodecagonal tilings, among them the shield tiling.

Wave models of non-crystallographic structures
Twenty five years after their discovery [1], quasicrystals have become an accepted object of academic research. The existence of nonperiodic structures with long range order came as a surprise for most of the physics community, even if in mathematics the subject had already been explored. Different formal descriptions have been proposed and shown to be more or less equivalent. Substitutions, ma...
متن کاملComparison of HREM images and contrast simulations for dodecagonal Ni-Cr quasicrystals
2014 Since high-resolution electron micrographs of dodecagonal Ni-Cr quasicrystals are similar in contrast to those of several closely related periodic phases, it has been argued that dodecagonal quasicrystals can be described as a decoration of a dodecagonal quasiperiodic tiling with the same structural units as occur in these periodic phases. In order to corroborate this hypothesis, electron ...
متن کاملSpotlight Tiling
Abstract. This article introduces spotlight tiling, a type of covering for a region which is similar to tiling. The distinguishing aspects of spotlight tiling are that the “tiles” have elastic size, and that the order of placement is significant. Spotlight tilings are decompositions, or coverings, and can be considered dynamic as compared to typical static tiling methods. A thorough examination...

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...
