We investigate the formation of a two-dimensional quasicrystal in a monodisperse system, using molecular dynamics simulations of hard-sphere particles interacting via a two-dimensional square-well potential. We find that more than one stable crystalline phase can form for certain values of the square-well parameters. Quenching the liquid phase at a very low temperature, we obtain an amorphous phase. By heating this amorphous phase, we obtain a quasicrystalline structure with fivefold symmetry. From estimations of the Helmholtz potentials of the stable crystalline phases and of the quasicrystal, we conclude that the observed quasicrystal phase can be the stable phase in a specific range of temperatures. 相似文献

A Nd:glass laser with pulse duration of 250 fs and 1.3 ps has been used to evaporate a Al65Cu23Fe12 quasicrystalline target. The gaseous phase obtained from the ablation process has been characterised by several techniques such as emission spectroscopy, quadrupole mass spectrometry and ICCD imaging, used to study the plume composition, energy and morphology. The results show that the ablation processes in the short-pulse regimes are very different to the nanosecond one. In particular the plume angular distribution shows a characteristic high cosine exponent and the composition is completely stoichiometric and independent from the laser fluence. Furthermore the mass spectra indicate the presence of clusters, both neutral and ionised and the emission from the target suggest a rapid thermalisation leading to the melting of the surface. To clarify the ablation process some films have been deposited, on oriented silicon, at different experimental conditions and analysed by scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray analysis and X-ray diffraction. The analyses show the presence of nanostructured films retaining the target stoichiometry but consisting of different crystalline and non crystalline phases. In particular the nanostructure supports the hypothesis of the melting of the target during the ablation and a mechanism of material ejection is proposed for both picosecond and femtosecond regimes. 相似文献

With the rapid development of topological states in crystals, the study of topological states has been extended to quasicrystals in recent years. In this review, we summarize the recent progress of topological states in quasicrystals, particularly focusing on one-dimensional (1D) and 2D systems. We first give a brief introduction to quasicrystalline structures. Then, we discuss topological phases in 1D quasicrystals where the topological nature is attributed to the synthetic dimensions associated with the quasiperiodic order of quasicrystals. We further present the generalization of various types of crystalline topological states to 2D quasicrystals, where real-space expressions of corresponding topological invariants are introduced due to the lack of translational symmetry in quasicrystals. Finally, since quasicrystals possess forbidden symmetries in crystals such as five-fold and eight-fold rotation, we provide an overview of unique quasicrystalline symmetry-protected topological states without crystalline counterpart. 相似文献

Using the line-shape analysis of the Mn 2p3/23d3d Auger transitions and by observing the Mn 3p→3d transitions in electron energy-loss spectroscopy, we have studied the local density of electronic states of the crystalline cubic and the quasicrystalline icosahedral phases of Al70Pd20Mn10. We find that, in the cubic phase the Mn 3d states coincide with the Fermi level EF, but in the quasicrystalline state the Mn 3d band is fully occupied and shifted to lower binding energies causing a significant reduction in the density of states at EF. 相似文献

The influence of a quasicrystalline Al-Pd-Re film on the shift and broadening of surface polaritons of a substrate (sapphire)
has been studied. Measurements have been performed both on a sample containing only the quasicrystalline phase and on a sample
which, in addition to the quasicrystalline phase, contains the crystalline (metallic) phase. The complex dielectric function
of the films in the mid-IR region (650–800 cm−1) has been estimated. 相似文献

In film growth on quasicrystalline surfaces, the epitaxy-imposed ordering cannot compete with the stable bulk phases of thick films due to absence of translational order in the structure of the substrate. Energetically, this renders the formation of crystalline domains in the native structure of the film material more favorable, while their global orientation is prescribed by the quasicrystalline order. We present experimental results on the dissociative chemisorption of oxygen at the decagonal surface of Al70Co15Ni15 as well as molecular-dynamics simulations of the diffusion of adatoms on the surface of the partially covered substrate. 相似文献

The optical properties of Al-Cu-Fe quasicrystalline films and, for comparison, crystalline films of similar composition are studied using middle-and far-IR reflectance spectroscopy. Measurements are performed with 0.1-to 0.3-μm-thick films on sapphire substrates. The complex dielectric function of the films is calculated from experimental data. It is found that the real part of the dielectric function is negative for the crystalline films but positive and weakly frequency dependent, except in the range near 245 cm?1, for the quasicrystalline films. The optical conductivity of the quasicrystalline films does not feature the Drude peak observed for crystalline films and exhibits a peak at 245 cm?1, which can be assigned to optical phonon excitations and is absent for crystalline films. 相似文献

The growth of Bi on surfaces of Al-based quasicrystals yields a quasicrystalline monolayer which is followed by the formation of crystalline islands of various forms depending on coverage, deposition flux and substrate temperature. We have used the Bi thin films consisting of both crystalline and quasicrystalline allotropes as substrates to study the deposition of C(60) and pentacene molecules. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) reveals substrate-dependent differences in molecular adsorption. 相似文献

Electron microscopic and differential scanning calorimetric (DSC) studies have been performed to investigate the phase transitions
in the rapidly solidified Al6CuMg4 alloy system. We present evidence, for the first time, that anendothermic quasicrystalline to crystalline transition occurs in this system around 340°C. This is an unexpected feature—for conventional
wisdom would lead one to expect exothermic behaviour as was seen in Al86Mn14—and points to the fact that stability of certain quasicrystalline phases may be much larger than hitherto expected. Some
comments on the recently reported large quasicrystal for the Al6CuLi3 system are also made in the light of our observation. 相似文献

Motivated by recent experimental findings, we investigate the possible occurrence and characteristics of quasicrystalline order in two-dimensional mixtures of point dipoles with two sorts of dipole moments. Despite the fact that the dipolar interaction potential does not exhibit an intrinsic length scale and cannot be tuned a priori to support the formation of quasicrystalline order, we find that configurations with long-range quasicrystallinity yield minima in the potential energy surface of the many particle system. These configurations emanate from an ideal or perturbed ideal decoration of a binary tiling by steepest descent relaxation. Ground state energy calculations of alternative ordered states and parallel tempering Monte-Carlo simulations reveal that the quasicrystalline configurations do not correspond to a thermodynamically stable state. On the other hand, steepest descent relaxations and conventional Monte-Carlo simulations suggest that they are rather robust against fluctuations. Local quasicrystalline order in the disordered equilibrium states can be strong.Received: 15 September 2004, Published online: 26 November 2004PACS:

The paper introduces a 3D computer simulation model of the melting and recrystallization process of amorphous Si induced by
pulsed laser irradiation. The model takes into account the temperature dependence of thermal and optical properties of crystalline,
amorphous and liquid Si. The melting process is described by introducing for each volume element of melt pool the characteristic
times of beginning of melting, end of melting and nucleation of a stable nucleus. The solution of heat equations of liquid
and solid phases also provides one with the nucleation rates and temperatures. These data enable one to discriminate whether
amorphous or crystalline phases are really allowed to be formed. Two examples of computer simulation are carried out to show
the outputs of the model.

Newly developed nanostructured Zr/Ti-Al-TM multiphase alloys can provide a large bandwidth of interesting properties, such as mechanical properties. Bulk materials with nanocrystalline/ amorphous and (nano)quasicrystalline/ amorphous microstructure with different volume fractions of nanophases and with different grain sizes can be obtained by slowly cooling the melt as well as by solid state reactions. Multiphase structures are realized either by partial de-vitrification of bulk glass-forming alloys or by defined addition of inert compounds upon alloying. Special preparation techniques e.g. copper mould casting and subsequent controlled annealing and mechanical alloying combined with hot consolidation of powders are described. The phase formation and transformation processes and the thermal stability of such materials in dependence on alloy composition and processing parameters are discussed in detail. Currently, the exploration of properties with respect to potential applications of these nanostructured alloys is still at the beginning. First investigations on the contributions of different phases/ volume fractions to the overall mechanical behaviour will be shown. At room temperature, the deformation behaviour of amorphous/crystalline bulk samples is governed by contributions of all existing phases yielding a high strength of the material. 相似文献

Ethanol shows a complex scenario of different crystalline phases in the
temperature range between its glass transition at Tg = 97 K and its
melting point at Tm = 159 K. Brillouin spectroscopy has revealed capable
of observing and assessing acoustic phonon changes related to these phase
transitions between different crystalline phases (either a plastic-crystal
phase or different monoclinic phases). By combining this technique and
calorimetric experimental data, we are able to corroborate the existence of
at least two stable and two metastable (monoclinic) crystalline phases of
pure ethanol. 相似文献

We consider the melting of the vortex solid in highly anisotropic layered superconductors with a small concentration of random columnar pinning centers. Using large-scale numerical minimization of a free-energy functional, we find that melting of the low-temperature, nearly crystalline vortex solid (Bragg glass) into a vortex liquid occurs in two steps as the temperature increases: the Bragg glass and liquid phases are separated by an intermediate Bose glass phase. A suitably defined local melting temperature exhibits spatial variation similar to that observed in experiments. 相似文献

Raman spectra of solid and fluid nitrogen to pressures up to 120 GPa and temperatures up to 2500 K reveal that the melting line exhibits a maximum near 70 GPa, followed by a triple point near 87 GPa, after which the melting temperature rises again. Fluid nitrogen remains molecular over the entire pressure range studied, and there is no sign of a fluid-fluid transition. Solid phases obtained on quenching from the melt above 48 GPa are identical to the recently discovered iota and zeta' phases. We find that kinetics plays a major role in the experimentally observed phase changes and account for the metastability of various crystalline molecular phases and the existence of an amorphous single bonded eta-N. 相似文献

By using Monte Carlo simulations we demonstrate that atomic monolayers formed on a crystalline surface may exhibit quasicrystalline decagonal order. It is shown that the stability of two-dimensional quasicrystals (QCs) is determined by the misfit between the adsorbate and the surface lattice and by the corrugation of the surface potential. QCs may be stable at the ground state or develop from the compressed commensurate c(2 x 2) structure, via the first-order phase transition at finite temperatures. The decagonally ordered phase melts into a partially ordered liquidlike phase, which then disorders via a continuous Ising-like transition. 相似文献

The role of the “Casimir force analogue” at the microscopic processes of crystallization and melting
Melting (crystallization), a phase transition from a crystalline solid to a liquid state, is a common phenomenon in nature. We suggest a new factor, “the Casimir force analogue”, to describe mechanisms of melting and crystallization. The Casimir force analogue is a force occurring between the surfaces of solid and liquid phases of metals caused by different energy density of phonons of these phases. It explains abrupt changes in geometry and thermodynamic parameters at a melting point. “The Casimir force analogue” helps to estimate latent melting heat and to gain an insight into a solid–liquid transition problem. 相似文献

Techniques are presented for acquiring and reducing X-ray diffuse scattering data from disordered crystalline materials. These methods are part of a comprehensive approach to study disorder in novel quasicrystalline phases as a function of temperature, but can be applied without further adaptation to periodic crystalline systems. By fully exploiting the possibilities of modern two-dimensional X-ray detector systems - using imaging plates or charge coupled devices (CCD) - large volumes of reciprocal space can be measured in a quantitative and rapid way. For this purpose, the classical rotation method for collecting integrated Bragg intensities is extended for acquiring quasi-continuous diffuse diffraction data. A new high-temperature furnace and helium beam path, designed for the diffraction geometry of the rotation method, are integral parts of the diffraction system. New methods are presented for handling the reduction of diffuse diffraction data from area detectors. One of the key techniques is the reconstruction of arbitrary slices and volumes in reciprocal space from a single series of rotation images taken from an arbitrarily oriented single-crystal (reciprocal space mapping). 相似文献
