Simulated structure and thermodynamics of decagonal Al-Co-Cu quasicrystals

Atomic structures of Al-Co-Cu decagonal quasicrystals (dQCs) are investigated using empirical oscillating pair potentials (EOPP) in molecular dynamic (MD) simulations that we enhance by Monte Carlo (MC) swapping of chemical species and replica exchange. Predicted structures exhibit planar decagonal...
