Modelling of lattices
of two-diMensional Quasi-crystals
We propose the method for modelling of quasi-periodic structures based on an algo-
rithm being a geometrical interpretation of the Fibonacci-type numerical sequences.
The modelling consists in a recurrent multiplication of basis groups of the sites,
which possess the 10-th, 8-th or 12-th order rotational symmetry. The advantage
of the proposed method consists in an ability to operate with only two-dimensional
space coordinates rather than with hypothetical spaces of dimension more than
three. The correspondence between the method of projection of quasi-periodic lat-
tices and the method of recurrent multiplication of basis-site groups is shown. As
established, the six-dimensional reciprocal lattice for decagonal quasi-crystals can
be obtained from orthogonal six-dimensional lattice for icosahedral quasi-crystals
by changing the scale along one of the basis vectors and prohibiting the projection
of sites, for which the sum of five indices (corresponding to other basis vectors)
is not equal to zero. It is shown the sufficiency of using only three indices for de-
scribing diffraction patterns from quasi-crystals with 10-th, 8-th and 12-th order
symmetry axes. original algorithm enables direct obtaining of information about
intensity of diffraction reflexes from the quantity of self-overlaps of sites in course
of construction of reciprocal lattices of quasi-crystals.
Keywords: quasi-periodic structures, Fibonacci sequence, projection method, basis
vectors, rotation symmetry, reciprocal lattice.
1. introduction
one of actual problems of modern solid-state physics is the description
of quasi-crystalline materials structure. For the establishment and de-
scription of crystal structures, the experimental and theoretical basis is
well developed. In the same time, formal extrapolation of laws and
methods of classical crystallography to quasi-crystalline structures leads
to significant difficulties. For instance, the usage of three Miller indi-

ces for denoting of atomic planes (corre-
sponding to the reciprocal quasi-lattice sites)
leads to the fact that these indices are irra-
tional in most cases. In practice, the using of
non-integer indices is inconvenient. There-
fore, for the indexing of quasi-crystals planes
with the symmetry of icosahedron, in paper
[1], it was proposed the replacement of three
index symbols with six-index integer index as (h/h' k/k' l/l' ), H = h + h'τ,
K = k + k'τ, L = l + l'τ, where irrational constant number τ = 2cos (π/5)
denotes ‘golden ratio’.
Another method of indexing of atomic planes is the result of model-
ling method of icosahedral quasi-crystal structures. It consists in pro-
jecting the six-dimensional hypercube lattice on the three-dimensional
space [2, 3]. In this method, the six-index designation (n1 n2 n3 n4 n5 n6)
was proposed for both atomic planes and reciprocal lattice sites, since
the symmetry of quasi-crystal lattice is identic to corresponding sym-
metry of its reciprocal lattice [4, 5]. In addition, for icosahedral quasi-
crystals, authors commonly use the two-index (N, M)-type designation
based on the fact that square number of the vector of reciprocal icosa-
hedral quasi-lattice can be presented as [1]
Q2 = N + Mτ. (1)
one of the differences of quasi-crystals, which have 8-th, 10-th or
12-th order symmetry axis, from the quasi-crystals with icosahedral
symmetry is the periodicity in direction of higher order axis. The cor-
responding index associated with this direction always accepts integer
value and there is no need to replace it with the combination of two
indices comprising rational and irrational part. The issue is in ambigu-
ity of assignment of base vectors for flat quasi-lattice, which is perpen-
dicular to symmetry axis of the 8-th, 10-th or 12-th order. In many
papers relating to decagonal quasi-crystals [6–10], there are five-index
symbols of diffraction reflexes. These symbols include four indices re-
ferring to flat quasi-lattice and one index referring to periodicity direc-
tion. In papers [11, 12], authors used a six-index notation for such
quasi-crystals. In this case, the five-dimensional index refers to flat
quasi-lattice. Quite often, e.g., in refs. [3–15], reflexes are simply de-
noted as those related to the quasi-crystalline phase without specifying
the corresponding indices. The difference in the number of indices is
caused by the fact that for the basis vectors of flat reciprocal quasi-
lattice are used five vectors, which directed from the pentagon centre to

Modelling of Lattices of Two-Dimensional Quasi-Crystals
its vertices (±q1, ±q2, ±q3, ±q4, ±q5) (Fig. 1). however, considering equa-
tion q1 + q2 + q3 + q4 + q5 = 0, obviously, it can be used only four basic
vectors. however, the simplification of indexation, which consists in
reducing of number of used indices, leads to the fact that equivalent
sites of reciprocal quasi-lattice are differently indexed (Fig. 2).
In addition to the problem with indexing, there is also the problem of
calculating the diffraction maxima intensity. The main difficulty consists
in impossibility of assignment of quasi-crystals elementary cell and, con-
sequently, in impossibility of calculating the structural factor. one way of
solving this problem is to approximate quasi-crystalline structure with
cubic or other lattices with large parameters [16–19]. however, this meth-
od is not convenient, since in order to increase the correspondence of the
calculated results to the real one, it is necessary to choose the elementary
cells of approximant structure with the largest values of lattice parame-
ters. In this case, the number of cell basis elements naturally increases.
Another method for evaluating the intensity of reflexes is based on
the using of periodic lattice in multi-dimensional, in particular, six-di-
mensional [20] space.
To solve these problems more correctly, the original method of mod-
elling the quasi-periodic structures, elucidated in papers [21–25], is
proposed.
2. Decagonal Quasi-Periodic lattices
Since the concept of the quasi-crystal is closely related to the concepts
such as Fibonacci sequence (elements of which are determined by the
equation Fn = Fn−1 + Fn−2) and the ‘golden ratio’ (expressed by τ number),
then, some kind of geometric interpretation of this sequence is sug-
gested for modelling.
For two-dimensional decagonal quasi-lattice, the process of model-
ling can be demonstrated as follows. The group of sites, set by ten basic
vectors (±q1, ±q2, ±q3, ±q4, ±q5), is selected for the first element of the

‘sequence’. let us call this group as
D1 (Fig. 3, a).
To simplify the recording, we de-
note these ten vectors as qi, where i-
index varies from 1 to 10. The group
D2 is obtained by placing the centres
of additional ten groups D1 in the
sites of the initial group (Fig. 3, b,
c). Thus, the group D2 is the set of
sites given by the set of vectors, {qi},
of the previous group, D1, and the
vectors obtained by the addition of
vectors, {qi + qj}. Schematically, the
procedure for obtaining this group
can be written as D2 = D1 + {qi}D1,
where the equation {q1}D1 denotes the
shifting the centre of the group D1
into corresponding vectors. Then, on
ends of the vectors (±τq1, ±τq2, ±τq3,
±τq4, ±τq5) constructed from the cen-
tre of the group D2, the centres of
the group D1 are placed. As a result,
we obtain the group of sites D3 (Fig.
3, d) [21, 22].
For obtaining the group D4 on
ends of the vectors (±τ2q1, ±τ2q2, ±τ2q3,
±τ2q4, ±τ2q5) constructed from the
cen tre of group D3, ten groups D2 are
placed (Fig. 4). Generally, to obtain
the group Dn, we have to put the
centres of the group Dn−1 at the ends
of the vectors (±τn–2q1, ±τn–2q2, ±τn–2q3,
±τn–2q4, ±τn–2q5) constructed from the
centre of the group Dn−2.
The total algorithm for model-
ling the decagonal quasi-crystalline
lattice can be written in the form of recursive expression Dn = Dn−1 +
+ {τn–2qi}Dn−2. Starting with the third group of sites, it is possible
to implement two more versions of recursive algorithm: Dn = Dn−2 +
+ {τn–2qi}Dn−1 and Dn = Dn−1 + {τn–2qi}Dn−1.
Therefore, we denote the algorithm Dn = Dn−1 + {τn–2qi}Dn−2 as al-
gorithm no. 1, Dn = Dn−2 + {τn–2qi}Dn−1 as algorithm no. 2, and Dn = Dn−1 +
+ {τn–2qi}Dn−1 as algorithm no. 3.

It is known [3, 5, 9] that reciprocal for decagonal quasi-crys-
talline lattice is also decagonal quasi-periodic lattice. Therefore,
obtained models can be compared with electron diffraction pat-
terns of real decagonal quasi-crystals having selected certain scale.
In fact, these electron diffraction patterns represent the section
of three-dimensional recip rocal lattice.
The quasi-lattice model constructed according to the first algo-
rithm is in a good agreement with the electron diffraction pattern,
which was obtained in [26] for the Al–Ni–Co alloy with a decago-
nal structure (Fig. 5, a, b). however, the coincidence of model
sites is observed only for reflexes with high and medium intensity.
Some of the same low-intensity reflexes according to specified al-
gorithm are not generated. Using the algorithm no. 2 eliminates
this problem (Fig. 5, c).

Using the algorithm no. 3 also leads to similar result. Some
characteristics of sites groups constructed by three specified algo-
rithms are given in Table 1, from which it is evident that the
groups constructed according to the algorithm Dn = Dn−1 + τn–2qi Dn−1
(algorithm no. 3) include also those groups, which are constructed
according to the two another algorithms.
It should be noted that starting from a group D3 the last sub-
sets of vectors in algorithms nos. 2 and 3 (Table 1) contain all
other ‘preceding’ subsets of corresponding algorithm. For exam-
ple, the subset of {τqi + qj + qk} vectors (D3 group) contains {qi + qj}
and {τqi + qj} vectors. It can be easy verified, if to consider some
properties of basic vectors, particularly that qi + qj +1 = –τqi + 3. At
the same time, the last element in groups constructed according to
the first proposed algorithm, in the general case, does not contain
all subsets. For example, {τ3qi + qj + qk} subset in D5 group does not
contain {qi} vectors. It follows from the fact that |τ3qi – τqi – qi| >
> |qi|. Thus, the quasi-lattices constructed according to the second
and to the third algorithms are identical with each other and Dn
group is reduced to the set of sites given by {qi1 + qi2 + τqi3 +
+ τ2qi4 +...+ τn –1qin} vectors.

where 1 2γ = τ + , then, we can show that, in a case of plain decagonal
quasi-lattice, the equation for square distance between the random site
and origin of coordinates (Q = n1q1 + n2q2 + n3q3 + n4q4 + n5q5 ) can be
reduced to the form:
|Q|2 = (n1

2 − n1n2 − n2n3 − n3n4 − n4n5 − n5n1) +

it can be derived the equation, which is similar by the form to obtained
in ref. [1] for icosahedral quasi-crystals:
|Q|2 = N* + M*τ. (5)
Identical form of eqs. (1) and (5) is due to the relation between
icosahedral and decagonal lattices. To prove this statement, let us use
the method of projection and select six orthogonal vectors in the recip-
rocal six-dimensional space, which the general view was reported in
ref. [1]:
u1 = [τ 1 0 1 τ− 0],
u2 = [0 τ 1 0 1 τ−],
u3 = [1

let us consider the first triple and the second one of components for
each vector as the Cartesian coordinates of reciprocal spaces: physical
(XYZ) and ‘perpendicular’ (X′Y′Z′) ones. The vectors (6) determine six
vertices of icosahedron both in physical and ‘perpendicular’ spaces.
Thus, the projection of six-dimensional periodic structure constructed
on the set of vectors (6) specifies the reciprocal icosahedral lattice. Us-

the system (10) can be converted in a manner that vector u6 is projected
only onto Z and Z′ axis, while projections of the rest of five vectors on

According to (10) and (14), the indices of random site of reciprocal
decagonal lattice (n1 n2 n3 n4 n5 n6) can be expressed through the indices
of reciprocal icosahedral (non-cubic) lattice (k1 k2 k3 k4 k5 k6) by next

It can be easily shown that the sum of the first five indices ki derived
from eq. (16) is equal to zero.
Thus, the reciprocal decagonal lattice can be constructed by the pro-
jection of six-dimensional orthogonal non-cubic lattice (which corre-
sponds to distorted icosahedral lattice) onto the physical space. Addi-
tionally, it is necessary to prohibit the projection of sites, in which the
sum of the first five indices is not equal to zero.

Using equations (4) and (18), it is possible to proceed from the six-
indexes’ notation (n1 n2 n3 n4 n5 n6) to the three-indexes’ one (NML),
which is more convenient in the case of indexing the XrD-patterns of
polycrystalline samples. The values of N and M for the plain quasi-lat-
tice are presented in Table 2 in ascending order of |Q|. equation (19) is
formally identical to quadratic form for tetragonal lattice.
2.2. Intensity of Diffraction Reflexes
In paper [1], it has been shown that, for icosahedral quasi-crystals, the
intensity of diffraction reflexes is determined by the value of τ (τN − M)
that is the distance between the site of hyper-lattice and its correspond-
ing projection onto physical space. Moreover, the intensity increases
with decreasing of this distance. In our case of two-dimensional decago-
nal quasi-lattice, the distance from the site of six-dimensional lattice to
physical space is determined by modulus of vector:
Q⊥ = n1q1
⊥ + n2q2
⊥ + n3q3
⊥ + n4q4
⊥ + n5q5
⊥, (20)
where qi
⊥ are projections of six-dimensional vectors (14) onto ‘perpen-
dicular’ space. Using the set of eqs. (14), it can be shown that the
square value of Q⊥ modulus can be expressed through the same param-
eters N* and M*, which determine the square value of vector modulus in
physical space (5):
|Q⊥|
2 = τ–3(N*τ + M*). (21)
Therewith, the square value of six-dimensional vector modulus is equal to1.5
|Q6|2 = |Q|2 + |Q⊥|
2 (3 − τ) (N* + M*). (22)
It occurs multiple overlapping
of sites during modelling the two-
dimensional decagonal lattice ac-
cording to definite algorithm since
various combinations of basis vec-
tors can lead to the same result.

Computer analysis of constructed lattices allowed indicating distinct
correlation between the value of (N*τ − M*) parameter, experimental
intensity of reflexes and the number of overlaps (Fig. 6, Table 2). The
revealed correlation evidences for correctness of the selection of six-di-
mensional lattice basis vectors (14) that is in agreement with the data
of paper [1] for icosahedral lattice. The selection of alternative basis,
which projection onto the physical space also determines the vectors (6),
may interrupt this correlation. For example, in paper [27], it has been
proposed orthogonal basis in five-dimensional space:

where cr = cos (2r π/5), sr = sin (2r π/5), and the first two vectors compo-
nents are referred to the physical space, while the rest ones are referred
to ‘perpendicular’ space. In this case, correlation between the distance
from the site of five-dimensional lattice to physical space and the inten-
sity has not been observed.
Comparing systems (14) and (23), we can propose the criterion for
selection of decagonal-lattice basis vectors in the space with dimension-
ality, which is higher than 3: the sum of five basis vectors has to be
equal to zero.
Correlation between the intensity of reflexes and the number of
overlapping could be interpreted in the following way. basis sites of
quasi-crystalline lattice are obtained from the projection of hyper-lat-
tice sites ‘closely’ located to physical space. Moreover, according to eq.
(26) and Table 2, (10100)- and (10000)-type sites are located at the same
minimal distance from coordinate start in six-dimensional space. how-
ever, the (10000)-type sites are ‘closer’ located to physical space and
this determines their selection as the basis ones. The only one site of
six-dimensional hyper-lattice, which located in the real (physical) space,
is the origin of coordinate. This is necessary condition of aperiodicity of
this hyper-lattice projection in any direction.
In fact, the overlapping of geometric group shifted by certain vec-
tor means ‘parallel transfer’ of physical space so that another site of
hyper-lattice closely located to the physical space is turned out in the
real space (this site corresponds to τn–2qi vector). Intensity of diffraction
reflexes is determined by the distance from the hyper-lattice site to
physical space [20]. Since that, indicated correlation of intensity can be

Modelling of Lattices of Two-Dimensional Quasi-Crystals
interpreted in terms of probability for hyper-lattice site to be in projec-
tion region at the ‘shifting’ of the physical space during the generation
of sites groups. In this manner, within this algorithm, the sites located
closer to the initial physical space are generated more frequently as
compared to those located at higher distances. Therefore, multiple gen-
eration of the same sites enables to get information on the intensity of
appropriate diffraction reflexes.
Figure 7 illustrates mutual orientation of the basis vectors projec-
tions onto the physical qi and ‘perpendicular’ qi
⊥ spaces according to the
set (14).
Value of q1 + q2 = − τq4 type defines one of the shifting the group of
sites during modelling process. It corresponds to ‘perpendicular’ shift-
ing to q1
⊥ + q2
⊥ = − q4
⊥/τ vector. It follows that the radii of sites groups in
the model (algorithms nos. 2 and 3) in the physical and ‘perpendicular’
spaces are defined by equations:
rn = 1 + 1 + τ +...+ τn–2, rn
⊥ = 1 + 1 + 1/τ +...+ 1/τn–2, (24)
respectfully. The second equation in (24) shows that the radius of sites
groups in ‘perpendicular’ space is limited:
r ⊥n→∞ = 1 + (1 − 1/τ)–1 = 1 + τ2 = τ + 2. (25)
It follows that only those sites of six-dimensional lattice, which are
located at the distance not higher than τ + 2 from the physical space, are
projected within discussed model. Then, during the construction sites’
groups of high orders, the density of its location will be limited due to
finite size of projection region [21].
3. Quasi-Periodic lattices with octagonal Symmetry
let show that algorithm Dn = Dn –1 + {τn–2qi}Dn –1 proposed for decagonal
quasi-crystals is appropriate for using to quasi-crystalline lattices with
octagonal symmetry.

3.1. Real Space
The set of basis vectors has to be selected with two options, which are
different in mutual orientation (Fig. 8):

As we can see, there is some ambiguity in selection of basis vectors.
Then, if we consider qi as reciprocal lattice vectors, the ambiguity in
indexing of diffraction reflexes of octagonal quasi-crystals will exist.
For example, let consider set (26) as the basis. Initial sites group O1
is constructed with (±q1, ±q2, ±q3, ±q4) set of qi vectors. Algorithm for
modelling the lattice can be expressed in the form
On = On –1 + {δs
n–2qi} On –1, (28)
where we use ‘silver ratio’
( 1 2)sδ = + as parameter by
analogy with ‘golden ratio’ τ
[28]. one of the properties of
number δs is that exponent va-
lues for it can be expressed as
δs
n = Knδs + Kn –1; (29)
here, Kn are Pell’s numbers

= 2Kn –1 + Kn –2 condition [29]. It should be
noted that there is a relation between the basis vectors:
q1 + q2 + q3 = δsq2. (30)
Then, using equations (29) and (30), we can write as following:

Thus, it is evidently that any site of On = On –1 + {δs
n–2 qi} On –1 group
can be expressed as linear combination of basis vectors in the form
Q = n1q1 + n2q2 + n3q3 + n4q4. Figure 9 illustrates the example of applica-
tion of specified algorithm for O4 sites group.
It is important that algorithm (28) can be modified by substitution
of one or few numeral coefficients (Fig. 10):
(a) O2 = O1 + {qi} O1, …, On = On –1 + {δs
n–2qi} On –1;
(b) O2 = O1 + {qi} O1, O3 = O2 + {2qi} O2, …, On = On –1 + {δs

(c) O2 = O1 + {qi} O1, 3 2 2{ 2 }iO O O= + q , …, On = On –1 + {δs
n–3qi} On –1;
(d) 2 1 1{ 2 }O O O= + qi , …, On = On –1 + {δs

Also momentous is condition
that specified coefficients are ex-
pressed through relations between
basis vectors similar to eq. (30).
In contradistinction to known
modelling methods [30–34], this
proposed method for multiplying of
sites groups allows to classify qua-
si-crystalline structures. For exam-
ple, Fig. 11 illustrates two-di men-
sional quasi-periodic structure [35].
It is evident that this structure is
in agreement with the mo -del shown
in Fig. 10, d. Such structure ac-
cording to numeric coefficients in
algorithm can be expressed as the
structure of O (δs − 1, δs
n–2) type. The
structures obtained with other structure algorithms (Fig. 10, a, b, c)
can be denoted as O (1, δs
n–2), O (1, 2, δs
n–3) and O (1, δs − 1, δs
n–2), respectively.
It is easy to show that variation of algorithm consists in rearrangement
of coefficients at qi. For instance, O2 = O1 + {δsqi} O1, O3 = O2 + {qi} O2,
O4 = O3 + {2qi} O3, …, On = On –1 + {δs
n–3qi} On –1 leads to construction the
structure, which is the same as obtained with O2 = O1 + {qi} O1,
O3 = O2 + {2qi} O2, …, On = On –1 + {δs
n–3qi} On –1. That is why it is advi -
sable to note the coefficients in notation of structural class in ascen -
ding order.
It is known [36, 37] that quasi-crystalline lattice can be represented
as projection of periodic lattice in the space with dimensionality R onto
space with dimensionality d. In the case of octagonal plain quasi-lattice,
it can be proposed the projection of four-dimensional hyper-cubic lattice
onto the plain. If the basis of four-dimensional lattice are represented
as orthogonal vectors,

then, the first two coordinates of each vector correspond to basis vec-

Modelling of Lattices of Two-Dimensional Quasi-Crystals
physical space is presented in Fig. 12. evidently, the vector of physical
space q1 + q2 + q3 corresponds to the vector of ‘perpendicular’ space
q1
⊥ + q2
⊥+ q3
⊥, whose modulus has a minimal value for all combinations of
three basis vectors.
We show that algorithm (28) corresponds to the sites of four-dimen-
sional hyper-cubic lattice, which are closely located to physical space.
by this way, it will prove that proposed method and projected method
are equivalent between each other. For this, it is enough to show that
‘the radius’ of sites group in ‘perpendicular’ space (maximal distance
from sites of four-dimensional space to physical space) is finite. As seen
from Fig. 12, the next equation is valid during execution of eq. (30):
1 2 3 2 2( 2 1) (1 )s
⊥ ⊥ ⊥ ⊥ ⊥+ + = − − = − δq q q q q . (34)
We can show from eqs. (31) and (34) that boundary radii of sites’
groups rn→∞ and r ⊥n→∞ are equal to

Thus, the distance from projected four-dimensional lattice to physical
space does not exceed 2 2 2+ . hence, proposed method is quite correct.
3.2. Reciprocal Octagonal Lattice
let us analyse the possibility of using the proposed model for reciprocal
lattice of the octagonal quasi-crystals.
We can reduce the square values of modules of vectors Q|| = n1q1 +

we can deduce

that has similar form to equations for icosahedral (1) quasi-crystals [1]
as well as for plain lattice of decagonal (5) quasi-crystals [21]. At the
same time, the squared distance from site of four-dimensional lattice to
its corresponding projection in physical space is defined by Nδs − M
value:
|Q⊥|
2 = (Nδs – M)/δs. (38)
According to refs. [18, 20, 34, 36], the value of |Q⊥|
2 defines the
intensity of diffraction reflexes. It is important that |Q⊥|
2 ∝ (Nτ – M)
for the icosahedral and decagonal lattices.
The translation of On−1 sites’ groups on δs

Figure 13, a illustrates the over-
lapping of O4 sites group on the elec-
tron diffraction pattern for octago-
nal quasi-crystal of Mn4(Al,Si)
system. evidently, the sites of con-
structed lattice totally coincide with
reflexes from diffraction pattern. Therewith, there are reflexes with
low intensities, which have no corresponding site on the model (some of
them are marked with the point in Fig. 13). Changing algorithm for
construction of O2 = O1 + {qi} O1 into 2 1 1{ 2 }O O O= + qi (the next steps
of algorithm remain unchanged) causes the appearance of additional
sites, which coincide with marked reflexes (Fig. 13, b). Thus, diffrac-
tion pattern for octagonal quasi-crystal Mn4(Al,Si) is related to O (δs −
− 1, δs
n–2), class by geometry. Such algorithm change corresponds to ex-
tending of projection region in four-dimensional space, because

Table 3 presents the characteristics of some reciprocal lattice sites,
which are the most closely located to coordinate start. These sites have
been generated according to algorithms (28) and the following relation-
ship:
On = On –1 + {δs
n–3qi} On –1. (39)
As a result of construction of the octagonal quasi-lattices, using
described algorithms (as well as in the case of the construction of de-
cagonal quasi-lattices), there is a multiple mutual overlapping of the
sites. The quantity of this overlaps for various algorithms is presented
in the last two columns of Table 3. As shown, the correlation between
overlapping quantity and |Q⊥|
2 value is observed for all proposed algo-
rithms as well as for decagonal quasi-lattice (Table 2).
Figure 14 shows indices and the quantity of overlaps (algorithm
(28)) for appropriate reflexes on electron diffraction pattern for octago-
nal quasi-crystal of Mn4(Al,Si) system. As seen, the quantity of overlaps
is in a distinct agreement with intensity of diffraction reflexes.

ciently high intensity according to obtained results:

es can be calculated by the equation, which is similar to obtained one for
decagonal quasi-crystals (19):
1/d2 = (N + Mδs)/a

here, a is spacing parameter of plain quasi-lattice, с is spacing param-
eter along 8th-order symmetry axis.
In practice, value of L index does not exceed 2 during indexing of
XrD (x-ray diffraction) patterns. That is why the number of possible
combinations of three indices (N, M, L) is rather small. It should be
noted that reflexes of (0, 0, L)-type can also be observed on diffraction
patterns in addition to reflexes of (N, M, L)-type (with N and M indices,
which correspond to values of eq. (40)). Therefore, the indexing of
XrD-patterns for octagonal quasi-crystals should be considered as simi-
lar to indexing of crystalline materials, which belong to middle crystals’
systems.
4. Dodecagonal Quasi-Periodic lattices
The formation of condensed matter with quasi-periodic long-range order
and with the 12th-order symmetry axis has been established not only for
metal systems (as like Ni–V [39], Cr–Ni [40], bi–Mn [41], Ta–Te [42],
and Mn–Si–V [43]), but also for liquid crystals [44], colloidal solutions
[45], and polymer systems [46].
Interpretation of the electron and x-ray diffraction patterns for
dodecagonal quasi-crystals, as well as for all others, is also ambiguous
because of indetermination of indexing of diffraction reflections. Such
ambiguity is caused by inflation–deflation symmetry, which is native
for quasi-crystals. As a result, the ratio of the absolute values of the
reciprocal lattice vectors is expressed in terms of so-called scaling factor
[20–23]. In electron diffraction studies of quasi-crystals, basis vectors
are commonly match with reflections closest to the trace of the primary
beam, which have a very low intensity, as a rule. For this reason, the
minimal (basis) reciprocal lattice vectors (determined in diffraction ex-
periments) are dependent on the experimental conditions.
For construction of two-dimensional reciprocal quasi-lattice, let use
algorithm in the form of recurrent equation:
Dn = Dn –1 + {kn–2qi} Dn –1. (42)
In this case, the k parameter (for dodecagonal lattice, let us denote it as
t) was chosen from geometric interpretation of τ and δs numbers and
from the condition that this numbers belong to Pisot numbers [5, 31,
34, 47] τ = 2 cos (2 π/10) and δs = 1 + 2 cos (2 π/8):
k = t = 1 + 2 cos (2 π/12), (43)
k = t1 = 2 + 2 cos (2 π/12). (44)

Parameters (43) and (44) have been used as scaling factors for a dode-
cagonal lattice in papers [5, 31, 48].
As shown earlier, the application of algorithm (42) for the octagonal
and decagonal quasi-crystals results to complete agreement between ob-
tained quasi-lattices and experimental electron diffraction patterns. The
implementation of algorithm (43) and (44) is illustrated in Fig. 15. The
comparison of this lattice with the electron diffraction pattern of a do-
decagonal quasi-crystal (Fig. 16) [26] shows the qualitative conformity
between them.

Modelling of Lattices of Two-Dimensional Quasi-Crystals
The usage of parameter (44) for
the implementation of algorithm
(42) leads to discontinuities of the
lattice. The conformity of the mo-
del quasi-lattice with above-speci-
fied electron diffraction is obser-
ved after the replacement of algo-
rithm (1) with the algorithm pro-
posed earlier in Ref. [27], which can
be written in the form of the following recurrent relations (Fig. 17):
D2 D1 {qi} D1, D3 D2 {2qi} D2, D4 D3 {t1qi} D3,
D5 D4 {2t1qi} D4, D6 D5 {t2
1 qi} D5, D7 D6 {2t2
1 qi} D6. (45)
The numbers t and t1 are the solutions for quadratic equations x2 2x 2
and x2 4x 1, respectively. It follows, hence, that any power of t and
t1 can be expressed in terms of these numbers proper (e.g., t3 6t 4,
t4 16t 12, … ; t3
1 15t 4, t4
1 56t 15, …). We must take into ac-
count that basis vectors qi of a dodecagonal lattice relate as q1 q2 q3
tq2 and q1 2q2 q3 t1q2. Therefore, one can easy see that the posi-
tions of all sites appearing in the realization of the above algorithms can
be expressed in terms of a linear combination of qi vectors. Thus, each
site of model quasi-lattices can be indexed.
Let us compare the proposed method of recurrent multiplication of
site groups with the projecting method. Since six basis vectors are used
for a 2D-dodecagonal lattice, it is logically to use a six-dimensional
hyper-cubic lattice. We require that the first two components of the
coordinates of six-dimensional basis vectors represent the basis coordi-
nates of a 2D-dodecagonal quasi-lattice. Then, we can use the unit or-
thogonal basis vectors proposed in paper [31],

each vector in eq. (46) or (47) has two components corresponding to the
two-dimensional physical (i.e., real) space and two components corre-
sponding to the ‘perpendicular’ space. Therefore, we can write these
vectors as ui = (qi

⊥). For each site in the physical space, to correspond
uniquely to a vector in the ‘perpendicular’ space, it is necessary that,

a combination of two 2D hexagonal sublattices, the spaces of which are
mutually orthogonal. According to ref. [50], such a lattice belongs to a
bi-isohexagonal orthogonal system. In the given basis, only four vectors
are linearly independent. Therefore, two vectors (e.g., u*

evidently, if we put vectors (49) in correspondence to the basis
group of sites in the proposed model, the sites generated in accordance
with algorithm (45) will be projections of certain sites in the indicated

It is easy to see that, in both cases of the octagonal and dodecagonal
lattices during the multiplication of sites of a dodecagonal lattice in ac-
cordance with algorithm (45), a correlation between the number of self-
overlaps of sites and the intensity of the corresponding diffraction re-
flections is also observed (Fig. 18, Table 4).

(Table 1).
The equation for calculation of |Q||| in both cases of using t and t1

Basis vectors of reciprocal lattice are ascribed in [48] to low-inten-

The results of calculations for characteristics of reflexes (Fig. 18)
obtained with Eq. (55) are presented in Table 5.
Note that, with such indexing of intense reflections, the rounding
of ch 3M value to the larger integer yields the value of Nch. The values
of |Q

According to [51, 52], low-intensive reflections in the vicinity of
central spot on electron diffraction patterns are the results of multiple
diffraction typical of quasi-crystals. At the same time, many authors
take these reflections as those corresponding to basis vectors [48, 49].
In our model, the basis vectors of the reciprocal lattice correspond to
reflections of type 5 (Fig. 18), which is in agreement with the results
obtained in [51, 52]. Therefore, the proposed model of recurrent multi-
plication of site groups takes into account the effect of multiple diffrac-
tion and, at the same time, correctly maps the basis vectors on the dif-
fraction pattern. The existence of correlation between the quantity of
self-overlaps of sites and the intensity of diffraction reflections indi-
cates that the procedure of recurrent construction of site groups is a
certain analog of multiple diffraction processes.
To pass from the reciprocal space to the real one, we write vectors

4D is a space parameter of four-dimen-
sional reciprocal lattice. Using the condition a*

If there were detected reflexes corresponding to basis vectors, which
are closely located to primary electron beam, then, equation remains
similar to eq. (59):

where ch 17 4 3a a a t= + = .
From the physical point of view, (N*, M*) indices are more correct,
since they relate to the fundamental vectors of the reciprocal quasi-
crystal lattice. however, indices (Nch, Mch) are more convenient, be-
cause, if we know only one index from this pair, we can easily determine
the second index and estimate the intensity of the corresponding reflec-
tions (see eq. (56)).
Thus, the dodecagonal system ‘falls out’ of the general relation
|Q⊥|2 ∝ (Nk − M); this is observed for other existing types of quasi-crys-
tals. however, it is still possible to indexing diffraction reflections us-

Modelling of Lattices of Two-Dimensional Quasi-Crystals
ing integers. At the same time, taking into account the periodicity of
dodecagonal quasi-crystals along the 12th-order symmetry axis, all dif-
fraction peaks on the powder diffraction patterns can be indexed with
three indices, as for the octagonal and decagonal quasi-crystals.
except the analysis of the diffraction pattern from quasi-crystalline
materials, the description and classification of quasi-crystalline struc-
ture is a complicated problem. We proposed above the method for de-
scription of the variety of octagonal quasi-lattices. Such description is
possible because we can change the coefficients of vectors in initial al-
gorithm (42). For example, a change of even one coefficient changes the
quasi-lattice without affecting its symmetry. For instance, the image of
the atomic structure of a thin baTio3 layer on a platinum substrate was
obtained in ref. [53]. We obtained almost the same geometry of the ar-
rangement of sites (Fig. 19) using the following algorithm:

5. Conclusions
The method of modelling the quasi-periodic structures, which act as a
geometric interpretation of Fibonacci-type sequences, is proposed.
The correspondence between projection method for periodic lattices
and the method of recurrent multiplication of basis sites’ group is ob-
tained.
The possibility of using only three indices (NML) for describing dif-
fraction patterns for quasi-crystals with 10th-order, 8th-order, and
12th-order symmetry axis is proved.
Using constructed algorithm for quasi-crystalline structures, we can
directly obtain information about the intensity of diffraction reflexes.
Described method of modelling is simpler as compared with projec-
tion method. It enables to operate the coordinates of two-dimensional
space unlike to coordinates with dimensionality, greater than three.
