Statistical approach in cluster analysis of two-dimensional quasicrystals.

An analytical formula for the structure factor of Penrose tiling in the cluster approach was derived and tested. Probability distributions obtained for each Penrose position allow the number of different atoms that can decorate the cluster to be found. Calculations were performed in the average-unit-cell approach for Gummelt's cluster of 33 atoms, divided into three independent groups of atoms, and a kite cluster of 17 atoms, divided into seven independent groups.

Average unit cell for Penrose tiling and its Gaussian approximation.

In this paper, the average unit cell for a quasicrystal is constructed by a statistical approach. For the Penrose tiling, it is shown that such a unit cell is fully equivalent to the oblique projection of the atomic surface onto physical space. The obtained statistical distributions can be easily extended to imperfect structures by using a Gaussian approximation. This leads to simple analytical expressions for diffraction intensities, which can be very useful in structure refinement.
