This article consists in two independent parts. In the first one, we investigate the geometric properties of almost periodicity of model sets (or cut-and-project sets, defined under the weakest hypotheses); in particular we show that they…
Divergence functions of a metric space estimate the length of a path connecting two points $A$, $B$ at distance $\le n$ avoiding a large enough ball around a third point $C$. We characterize groups with non-linear divergence functions as…
It is well known that the orbit of a lattice in hyperbolic $n$-space is uniformly distributed when projected radially onto the unit sphere. In the present work, we consider the fine-scale statistics of the projected lattice points, and…
We present a study of the lensing properties of two-dimensional (2-D) photonic quasicrystal (PQC) slabs made of dielectric cylinders arranged according to a 12-fold-symmetric square-triangle aperiodic tiling. Our full-wave numerical…
We prove that if a subset of a $d$-dimensional vector space over a finite field with $q$ elements has more than $q^{d-1}$ elements, then it determines all the possible directions. If a set has more than $q^k$ elements, it determines a…
2D dielectric photonic quasicrystals can be designed to show isotropic band gaps. The system here studied is a quasiperiodic lattice made of silicon dielectric cylinders arranged as periodic unit cell based on a decagonal approximant of a…
This review revolves around the question which general distribution of scatterers (in a Euclidean space) results in a pure point diffraction spectrum. Firstly, we treat mathematical diffration theory and state conditions under which such a…
Let $\mathcal{S}$ be a finite set of integer points in $\mathbb{R}^d$, which we assume has many symmetries, and let $P\in\mathbb{R}^d$ be a fixed point. We calculate the distances from $P$ to the points in $\mathcal{S}$ and compare the…
Impurity scattering is found to lead to quasi-one dimensional nanoscale modulation of the local density of states in the iron pnictides and chalcogenides. This `quasiparticle interference' feature is remarkably similar across a wide variety…
We study the typical behavior of the size of the ratio set $A/A$ for a random subset $A\subset \{1,\dots , n\}$. For example, we prove that $|A/A|\sim \frac{2\text{Li}_2(3/4)}{\pi^2}n^2 $ for almost all subsets $A \subset\{1,\dots ,n\}$. We…
Mathematicians have been interested in non-periodic tilings of space for decades; however, it was the unexpected discovery of non-periodically ordered structures in intermetallic alloys which brought this subject into the limelight. These…
Quasicrystals are aperiodically ordered solids that exhibit long-range order without translational periodicity, bridging the gap between crystalline and amorphous materials. Due to their lack of translational periodicity, information on…
Two-, three- and four-dimensional representations of Penrose tilings of the plane are described. The vertices that occur in these representations lie on lattices. Symmetries and methods of visualizing these representations are discussed.…
Among the many families of nonperiodic tilings known so far, SCD tilings are still a bit mysterious. Here, we determine the diffraction spectra of point sets derived from SCD tilings and show that they have no absolutely continuous part,…
A rigorous definition of a path integral for a spinning particle in three dimensions is given on a regular cubic lattice. The critical diffusion constant and the associated critical exponents in each spin are calculated. Continuum field…
Diffraction from a lattice of periodically spaced crystals is a topic of current interest because of the great development of self-organised superlattices (SL) of nanocrystals (NC). The self-organisation of NC into SL has theoretical…
Let A be a subset of positive relative upper density of P^d, the d-tuples of primes. We prove that A contains an affine copy of any finite set of lattice points E, as long as E is in general position in the sense that it has at most one…
In the window approach to quasicrystals, the atomic position space E_parallel is embedded into a space E^n = E_parallel + E_perp. Windows are attached to points of a lattice Lambda \in E^n. For standard 5fold and icosahedral tiling models,…
In this paper, a technique for constructing quasiperiodic structures is suggested, which allows one by the assigned matching to restore the atoms density distribution formula of a corresponding quasicrystal. The algorithm to restore the…
For a large class of tilings, including the Penrose tiling in two dimension as well as the icosahedral ones in 3 dimension, the continuous hull of such a tiling inherits a minimal lamination structure with flat leaves and a transversal…
