A Realistic Model Structure of Frank-Kasper-Type Icosahedral Quasicrystals

Abstract
We have constructed a model structure of Frank-Kasper-type icosahedral quasicrystals based on the 3-D Penrose lattice which is decorated according to Henley and Elser (Philos. Mag. B 53 (1986) L59), and relaxed by interatomic potentials. Calculated (partial) pair correlation functions of the model agree well with the experimental ones in literature.
