Abstract
An analytical expression is derived for the short-range order (SRO) magnetic neutron diffuse scattering intensity in quasicrystals, and it is applied to a fictitious model of spin-orientation disorder in the Penrose pattern. The SRO diffuse scattering intensity depends on the overlapped volume of the occupation domains which are separated from each other by distances less than the correlation length and the SRO correlation functions. Analytical results for four different spin arrangements in the Penrose pattern are compared with numerical ones. The corresponding analytical and numerical results for all the cases are quite similar, suggesting the validity of the analytical expression.
