We consider a model decagonal quasicrystal of composition Al$_{80.1}$Co$_{19.9}$ -- closely related to actual structures, and using realistic pair potentials -- on a quasilattice of candidate sites. Its ground state, according to…
A tile Hamiltonian (TH) replaces the actual atomic interactions in a quasicrystal with effective interactions between and within tiles. We studied Al-Co-Cu decagonal quasicrystals described as decorated Hexagon-Boat-Star (HBS) tiles using…

The Penrose tiling is a perfectly ordered two dimensional structure with fivefold symmetry and scale invariance under site decimation. Quantum spin models on such a system can be expected to differ significantly from more conventional…
We propose a unified framework for dealing with matching rules of quasiperiodic patterns, relevant for both tiling models and real world quasicrystals. The approach is intended for extraction and validation of a minimal set of matching…
Quasicrystals lack translational symmetry, but can still exhibit long-ranged order, promoting them to candidates for unconventional physics beyond the paradigm of crystals. Here, we apply a real-space functional renormalization group…
The Penrose tiling is directly related to the atomic structure of certain decagonal quasicrystals and, despite its aperiodicity, is highly symmetric. It is known that the numbers 1, $-\tau $, $(-\tau)^2$, $(-\tau)^3$, ..., where $\tau…
Aperiodic (quasicrystalline) tilings, such as Penrose's tiling, can be built up from e.g. kites and darts, squares and equilateral triangles, rhombi or shield shaped tiles and can have a variety of different symmetries. However, almost all…
Based on Monte Carlo calculations, multipolar ordering on the Penrose tiling, relevant for two-dimensional molecular adsorbates on quasicrystalline surfaces and for nanomagnetic arrays, has been analyzed. These initial investigations are…
A systematic, decoration-based technique to discover the atomic structure of a decagonal quasicrystal, given pair potentials and experimentally measured lattice constants, is applied to the ``basic'' cobalt-rich decagonal Al-Co-Ni…
Recent studies of holographic tensor network models defined on regular tessellations of hyperbolic space have not yet addressed the underlying discrete geometry of the boundary. We show that the boundary degrees of freedom naturally live on…
We investigate exact eigenstates of tight-binding models on the planar rhombic Penrose tiling. We consider a vertex model with hopping along the edges and the diagonals of the rhombi. For the wave functions, we employ an ansatz, first…
Penrose tilings are the most famous aperiodic tilings, and they have been studied extensively. In particular, patterns composed with hexagons (H), boats (B) and stars (S) were soon exhibited and many physicists published on what they later…
We apply systematic methods previously used by Mihalkovic et al. to predict the structure of the `basic' Co-rich modification of the decagonal Al70 Co20 Ni10 layered quasicrystal, based on known lattice constants and previously calculated…
We present exact solutions for some eigenstates of hopping models on one and two dimensional quasiperiodic tilings and show that they are "critical" states, by explicitly computing their multifractal spectra. These eigenstates are shown to…
Motivated by recent experimental findings, we investigate the possible occurrence and characteristics of quasicrystalline order in two-dimensional mixtures of point dipoles with two sorts of dipole moments. Despite the fact that the dipolar…
Tensor networks are a powerful tool to simulate a variety of different physical models, including those that suffer from the sign problem in Monte Carlo simulations. The Hubbard model on the honeycomb lattice with non-zero chemical…
A structure model of atoms of two sizes, interacting with Lennard-Jones potentials and simulated by molecular dynamics, was observed to freeze into a decagonal quasicrystal dominated by Frank-Kasper coordination shells and closely related…
We show that a single prototile can fill space uniformly but not admit a periodic tiling. A two-dimensional, hexagonal prototile with markings that enforce local matching rules is proven to be aperiodic by two independent methods. The…
We consider the problem of extraction and validation of matching rules, directly from the phased diffraction data of a quasicrystal, and propose an algorithmic procedure to produce the rules of the shortest possible range. We have developed…
