This research aims to explore the unique five-fold symmetry in quasicrystals and its connection to the golden ratio scaling.
Analyzed diffraction patterns of quasicrystals to identify scaling factors
Examined mathematical properties of the golden ratio φ²
Explored geometric relations in Penrose tiling and the icosahedral group
Quasicrystals displayed forbidden five-fold symmetry with diffraction peaks scaled by φ² (≈ 2.618).
Scaling factor φ² identified as crucial in aligning peak positions in diffraction patterns.
Five-fold symmetry axes correspond with the non-crystallographic Coxeter group H₃.
