Is quasicrystal structure analysis a never-ending story? Why is still not a single quasicrystal
structure known with the same precision and reliability as structures of regular periodic …

Aluminum based alloys which contain transition metal elements with concentrations up to
25% and additional small quantities of silicon, have a wide variety of atomic structures with …

Quasicrystals are solids that exhibit symmetries long thought forbidden in nature. Since their
discovery in a rapidly solidified Al–Mn alloy in 1984, the central issue in the field has been to …

Predicting quasicrystal structures is a multifaceted problem that can involve predicting a
previously unknown phase, predicting the structure of an experimentally observed phase, or …

Traditionally, the determination of phase diagrams has followed the inductive paradigm,
where experimental observations provide the phase boundaries in more or less detail and …

By fitting to a database of ab initio forces and energies, we can extract pair potentials for
alloys with a simple six-parameter analytic form including Friedel oscillations, which give a …

Atomic structures of Al-Co-Cu decagonal quasicrystals (dQCs) are investigated using
empirical oscillating pair potentials (EOPP) in molecular dynamic (MD) simulations that we …

The atomic structure of the icosahedral Ti-Zr-Ni quasicrystal is determined by invoking
similarities to periodic crystalline phases, diffraction data, and the results from ab initio …

Quasicrystals represent aperiodically ordered form of solids with symmetries long thought
forbidden in nature. Since their discovery, the fundamental key question has been “where …

Quasicrystals (QCs) possess rotational symmetries forbidden in the conventional
crystallography and lack translational symmetries. Their atoms are arranged in an ordered …
