We use molecular dynamics simulations to study the driven phases of particles such as
vortices or colloids moving over a decagonal quasiperiodic substrate. In the regime where …

Among the distinctive features of quasicrystals—structures with long-range order but without
periodicity—are phasons. Phasons are hydrodynamic modes that, like phonons, do not cost …

A competition of incommensurate symmetries occurs whenever a system is forced to
conform to an ordering that is different from the intrinsically preferred structure of the system …

Quasicrystals and their periodic approximants are complex crystalline phases. They have
now been observed in many metallic alloys, soft matter systems, and particle simulations. In …

The structure of colloids with competing interactions which are confined in a harmonic
external trap potential is analyzed numerically by energy minimization in two spatial …

Quasicrystals are aperiodic structures with long-range orientational order. Unlike crystals,
quasicrystals can, in principle, possess any non-crystallographic rotational symmetry …

We present a computational study of the morphology of adsorbed monolayers on
quasicrystalline surfaces with five-and seven-fold symmetry. The phase field crystal model is …

We explore the behavior of two-dimensional patchy colloidal particles with 8 or 10
symmetrically arranged patches by employing Monte Carlo simulations. The particles …

We perform extensive Monte Carlo simulations of a two-dimensional bent hard-needle
model in both its chiral zig-zag and its achiral bow-shape configurations and present their …

We experimentally investigate the phase behavior of a dense two-dimensional system of
interacting colloidal particles subjected to a decagonal quasiperiodic potential landscape …
