Aperiodic tilings | Quasicrystals

Quasicrystals and Geometry

Quasicrystals and Geometry is a book on quasicrystals and aperiodic tiling by Marjorie Senechal, published in 1995 by Cambridge University Press (ISBN 0-521-37259-3). One of the main themes of the book is to understand how the mathematical properties of aperiodic tilings such as the Penrose tiling, and in particular the existence of arbitrarily large patches of five-way rotational symmetry throughout these tilings, correspond to the properties of quasicrystals including the five-way symmetry of their Bragg peaks. Neither kind of symmetry is possible for a traditional periodic tiling or periodic crystal structure, and the interplay between these topics led from the 1960s into the 1990s to new developments and new fundamental definitions in both mathematics and crystallography.

Rhombofoam in Zome โ€“ Scott Vorthmann

Rhombofoam is a pattern that fills 3D space in all the ways that a golden rhombohedron does, while forming dodecahedral and 16-sided cells that have the topology of foam: three cells around each edge, and four around each vertex. The result is a foam model that has the symmetries of a quas

Not quite a quasicrystal (yet): Particles interacting with a potential based on the golden ratio

This new attempt at growing a quasicrystal uses a potential with rotation symmetry, which is similar to the Lennard-Jones potential, but has two stable equilibrium positions at distances whose ratio ls the golden mean Phi = 1.618.... This was suggested to me by Florian Theil. The result is
