Finite-temperature liquid-quasicrystal transition in a lattice model

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We consider a tiling model of the two-dimensional square lattice, where each site is tiled with one of the 16 Wang tiles. The ground states of this model are all quasiperiodic. The systems undergoes a disorder to quasiperiodicity phase transition at finite temperature. Introducing a proper order parameter, we study the system at criticality and extract the critical exponents characterizing the transition. The exponents obtained are consistent with hyperscaling.
