Thick atomic layers of maximum density as bulk terminations of quasicrystals
arXiv:cond-mat/0412681 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.72.094206
Abstract
The clean surfaces of quasicrystals, orthogonal to the directions of the main symmetry axes, have a terrace-like appearance. We extend the Bravais' rule for crystals to quasicrystals, allowing that instead of a single atomic plane a layer of atomic planes may form a bulk termination.
