Metallic-mean quasicrystals as aperiodic approximants of periodic crystals
Quasicrystals differ from traditional incommensurate structures because they have non-crystallographic rotational symmetries. Here the authors introduce a scheme to produce metallic-mean quasicrystals in two dimensions with 6-fold rotational symmetry that can be seen as approximant to periodic tilin...
