Abstract

A modified set of Mosseri-Sadoc (MS) tiles tessellating 3D Euclidean space with icosahedral symmetry is introduced. The new set of tiles are embedded in dodecahedron with a threefold symmetric order. The modified Mosseri-Sadoc (MMS) tiles can be inflated by a new inflation matrix with positive eigenvalues τ3\tau^3 and τ\tau with the corresponding eigenvectors representing the volumes and the Dehn invariants of the tiles, respectively, where τ=1+52\tau=\frac{1+\sqrt5}{2} is the golden ratio. The MMS tiles are obtained by projection of the 4D and 5D facets of the Delone cells tiling the D6D_6 root lattice in an alternating order. It is also proved that a subset of the lattice D6D_6 projects into the dodecahedron inflated by τn\tau^n with an arbitrary integer nn and tiled by the MMS tiles.
