Thick atomic layers of maximum density as bulk terminations of quasicrystals
Zorka Papadopolos, Gerald Kasner
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 quasicrysta…

A maximum density rule for surfaces of quasicrystals
Z. Papadopolos, P. Pleasants, G. Kasner +6
A rule due to Bravais of wide validity for crystals is that their surfaces correspond to the densest planes of atoms in the bulk of the material. Comparing a theoretical model of i…
