We propose the theory which unifies the description of quasicrystal assembly thermodynamics and quasicrystal structure formation by combining the Landau theory of crystallization and the cluster approach to quasicrystals. The theory is…
A new method to construct quasicrystalline lattices is proposed. It is based on Landau crystallization theory. Like well-known cut and projection methods our approach deals with N dimensional crystallography, but we don't need any…
Exotic tiling patterns of quasicrystals have motivated extensive studies of quantum phenomena such as critical states and phasons. Nevertheless, the systematic understanding of the Landau levels of quasicrystals in the presence of the…
Classical Landau theory considers structural phase transitions and crystallization as a condensation of several critical density waves whose wave vectors are symmetrically equivalent. Analyzing the simplest nonequilibrium Landau potentials…
This letter reports theory of elasticity and hydrodynamics of quasicrystals with 7-, 14-, 9- and 18-fold symmetries in solid phase, in which the 6-dimensional embedding space concept is used. Based on the concept and the Landau-Anderson…
Landau's phenomenological theory of Fermi liquids is a fundamental paradigm in many-body physics that has been remarkably successful in explaining the properties of a wide range of interacting fermion systems, such as liquid helium-3,…
The relative stability of three-dimensional icosahedral quasicrystals in multi-component systems has been investigated based on a coupled-mode Swift-Hohenberg model with two-length-scales. A recently developed projection method, which…
We investigate the necessary features of the pair interaction for the stabilization of self-assembled quantum quasicrystals in two-dimensional bosonic systems. Unlike the classical scenario, our results show that two-dimensional octagonal,…
We present a Hartree-Fock study that incorporates the effects of Landau level mixing and screening due to filled levels into the computation of energies and states of quasiparticles in quantum Hall ferromagnets. We use it to construct a…
Quasicrystals whose building blocks are of mesoscopic rather than atomic scale have recently been discovered in several soft-matter systems. Contrary to metallurgic quasicrystals whose source of stability remains a question of great debate…
Using a strategy that may be applied in theory or in experiments, we identify the regime in which a model binary soft matter mixture forms quasicrystals. The system is described using classical density functional theory combined with…
The conditions for forming quasicrystals and their approximants are stringent, normally requiring multiple length scales to stabilize the quasicrystalline order. Here we report an unexpected finding that the approximants and motifs of…
Quasicrystals (materials with long range order but without the usual spatial periodicity of crystals) were discovered in several soft matter systems in the last twenty years. The stability of quasicrystals has been attributed to the…
For a three dimensional system we answer two questions, how simple a particle system might be to show the quasicrystal order and, what system features are the most important for quasicrystal formation? One-component system of particles with…
Due to their aperiodic nature, quasicrystals are one of the least understood phases in statistical physics. One significant complication they present in comparison to their periodic counterparts is the fact that any quasicrystal can be…
We propose new semi-implicit numerical methods for the integration of the stochastic Landau-Lifshitz equation with built-in angular momentum conservation. The performance of the proposed integrators is tested on the 1D Heisenberg chain. For…
We present a theorem that allows to simplify linear stability analysis of periodic and quasiperiodic nonlinear regimes in N-particle mechanical systems (both conservative and dissipative) with different kinds of discrete symmetry. This…
We consider quantum rotors or Ising spins in a transverse field on a $d$-dimensional lattice, with random, frustrating, short-range, exchange interactions. The quantum dynamics are associated with a finite moment of inertia for the rotors,…
We show that nonlinear continuum elasticity can be effective in modeling plastic flows in crystals if it is viewed as Landau theory with an infinite number of equivalent energy wells whose configuration is dictated by the symmetry group…
A combination of classical density-functional theory and thermodynamic perturbation theory is applied to a survey of finite-temperature trends in the relative stabilities of one-component crystals and quasicrystals interacting via effective…
