Nucleation and phase transition of spherical crystals and quasicrystals
Tiejun Zhou, Aibei Xie, Gang Cui +3
We investigated the nucleation, growth, and solid-to-solid phase transition processes of spherical six-fold symmetric crystals (C6) and ten-fold symmetric quasicrystals (DQC) using…

Minimum energy paths for defect annihilation in finite dodecagonal quasicrystal clusters
Rong Liu, Gang Cui, Tiejun Zhou +3
Defect repair in quasicrystals involves local structural rearrangements on a complex potential energy landscape. Here, we combine the string method with the spring pair method to c…
