2 Problem: structure prediction for d(al A fundamental problem: Given we can perfectly compute energy of a complex compound, what s the atomic arrange Brute-force Monte Carlo (MC) / Molecular Dynamics (MD typically get stuck in glassy states. Try this on d(alconi) which has many subphases [S. Rits Phil. Mag. Lett. 78: 67 (1998).] in particular, basic Ni ( Al 70 Co 10 Ni 20 ) and basic Co ( Al 70 Co 20 Ni 10 ). Input information: Quasilattice constant a 0 = 2.45Å, period (2 layers) c = Pair potentials 2
3 Pair potentials Derived using Moriarty s Generalized Potential Theory [ Al-Lehyani et al Phys. Rev. B 64, (2001)] Al-Al potential: just hardcore 2.7Å. Al-TM (esp. Al-Co): deep well 2.5Å. TM-TM potential: deep 2nd well Al-Al 0.3 Co-Co Al-Co Co-Ni Pair potential (ev) Al-Ni Pair potential (ev) Ni-Ni Distance (A) Distance (A) 3

Lowest energy configuration in each run is vie identify common motifs. 2 Promote the observations [1] to rules for a larger scale with fewer degrees of freedom. 3 New MC simulations (fixed sites) on larger-scale tiling 4 Relaxation (and MD simulations) to find atoms true equilibrium positions. This method worked once for basic Ni [M. Mihalkovič e Phys. Rev. B 65, (2002). Will it work in general? 4
5 First stage rhombus edge a 0 = 2.45Å Two independent layers Tile flips and atom swaps. Simulations: Second stage rhombus edge τa 0 = One layer tiling // two-layer decor of candidate sit 2 flavors of fat rhom Atom swaps only We used tilings that maximize number of (nonoverlapping decagons. In effect, we really have a 10.4Å edge Binary broken down for decoration purposes into a 4.0Å edge De Hexagon-Boat-Star tiling 5

9 Another version of idealized decorat This image emphasizes a decomposition into 2.45Å He Boat, and Star tiles around 2.45Å Decagon tiles. The di possible tilings of the HBS tiles correspond to options for in rings 2.5/3, all of which maximize the number of Al-Co b 9
10 Orientational order Define σ i = ±1 on each cluster, like an Ising model s expresses the center s orientation (also controls in which lay TM s of ring 1 sit.) What is the pattern of orientations? For the (artificial!) case of fixed site list, the energy diff is delicately balanced. We often find a ferromagnetic ar ment, which means the point symmetry is pentagonal i pentagonal symmetry occurs in part of the Al-Co-Ni phas gram. This can be understood by matching the edges of th Decagon cluster: Al atoms alternate in which way they correlated with center orientation. At low and high densities, or in a approximant with Star clusters, antiferromagnetic arrangment is preferred can also be rationalized, because it avoids adjacent Ni-N forming a 72 angle in the Star cluster. 10
11 Relaxation and puckering Under relaxation, we found rearrangements of atoms in 2.5/3. Also, the period doubled to c = 2c = 8Å, the re riod for most d(alconi) subphases [when simulation was t a sample cell of that size]. Why? (a). TM Co τ a 0 4 A (b). z Al channel c 4 A ideal position U(z) 11
12 Explanation of Al in channels... We can define Al potential U Al (r) r V AlCo (r r ) + r V AlNi (r r ) given fixed positions of TM s. Isolated wells of this functi filled by a single Al, but there are also channels of po minima, running between columns of Co in the c direction. is just room to place three Al in every four layers, hence c = 2c. The placement of the atoms is determined by ( timum single-atom potential [plot (b) on previous sheet] in the atom layer with more TM s in distant locations (ii) to have maximum transverse displacement to satisfy Al-A core, since 2c/3 2.67Å is a little too close. 12

16 Simulated vs. actual W(AlCoNi) The top figure is a mirror layer; bottom is a puckered layer. Empty circles are experimentally determined sites: teeth = TM, smooth=al, large = mixed Al/TM. Filled circles are simulations: Dark gray = TM, light gray = Al. 16
17 Conclusions Methods of Mihalkovic et al (2002) for basic Ni d(al 70 successfully led to a structural understanding (at T = 0) o Co d(al 70 Co 20 Ni 10 : a completely different tiling (domina decagon clusters) despite a very similar nearest-neighbor o We have described the origin of puckering and orientati order. The fixed-site list simulations can lead to the wron conclusion for low-energy effects, unless relaxations are ap intelligently. When applied to a unit cell the same size as crystalline approximant W(AlCoNi) [Sugiyama K. Sugiyama et al J. Comp. 342: 65 (2002)] many details of our prediction agre not all. 17
