Figure 4
The evolution of the reference vertex of a tile L23 in the PT after randomization with an increasing number of phason flip iterations (from left to right). The structure is shown in real space (top row) and in perpendicular space (bottom row). The figure shows the perfect PT (left), the PT after five cycles of flips (middle) and the PT after 200 cycles of flips (right). The Gaussian distribution is formed after a large number of cycles. |
