Hierarchical ground-state crystals underlying Hertzian quasicrystals - Nature Communications

Abstract As a simple physics model for crystal and quasicrystal formation, the Hertzian potential describes the interaction between two soft-core colloidal particles. However, explaining why quasicrystals emerge in such a minimal model remains a theoretical challenge. Here, using analytically exact approaches, we reveal multiple layers of hierarchical crystal patterns that serve as the energy ground states underlying quasicrystals found by computer simulations.
