R. Wang et al., PROJECTION DESCRIPTION OF CUBIC QUASI-PERIODIC CRYSTALS WITH PHASON STRAINS, Acta crystallographica. Section A, Foundations of crystallography, 50, 1994, pp. 366-375
A new projection description for a cubic quasiperiodic crystal (CQC),
including a projection matrix, diffraction-intensity calculation and a
linear phason matrix. has been proposed. The simulated electron diffr
action patterns with appropriate phason parameters agree well with the
experimental ones obtained for a rapidly solidified V6Ni16Si7 alloy.
The transition from the CQC to its crystalline approximants is treated
using the linear-phason-strain concept.
