Modeling of quasicrystal lattices with a 4-fold symmetry axis
Journal Title: Journal of Physics and Electronics - Year 2018, Vol 26, Issue 2
Abstract
The construction method of a quasilattice with a four-fold rotational symmetry axis is proposed. The described method is based on the recurrent generation of the initial group of lattice points, which are a set of vertices of a square. The aperiodic crystal reciprocal lattice modeling algorithm is analyzed. Used modeling technique is compared with conventional projection approach. The orthogonal basis of a four-dimensional hypercubic lattice is proposed. This lattice produces two-dimensional quasicrystal with a four-fold symmetry axis after it projection on a flat surface. It is shown that the indexation of diffraction pattern of similar quasiperiodic structures can be carry out using 3 integer indexes, which is analogous to the indexing system proposed by Cahn for application to icosahedral quasicrystals.
