Transition from quasicrystals to amorphous structures

Abstract

For the model structure the smooth transition from perfect quasicrystalline to amorphous structure have been observed and changes in the diffraction patterns have been investigated. It turned out that all dependencies can be easily handled by the means of some well-defined probablility distributions. Given these distributions one can perform the appropriate calculations in the average unit cell method and describe the transition in a simple and consistent way.
