Abstract
A four-dimensional (4D) model is presented of the first oxide dodecagonal quasicrystal found in a Ba-Ti-O ultra-thin film on a Pt(111) single-crystal substrate. The 4D model, with a 4D dodecagonal lattice constant ad= 8.39 Å, was derived by considering a tile decoration model of dodecagonal Niizeki-Gähler tiling composed of squares, triangles and 30° rhombuses. The model consists of four kinds of occupation domain, and 4D positional vectors defining the shape of each occupation domain are given. Moreover, the atomic arrangement of two Ba-Ti-O periodic approximants, the sigma-phase approximant and a 25.6 Å approximant were derived from the 4D model by the introduction of linear phason strains.
