Abstract

By considering fluctuations of a random phason field, we show that phasons defects are correlated in real space. This produces regions of the quasicrystal that are more stable than others against phason disorder. Analytical formulae for the stable and unstable parts of a quasilattice are provided, and a discussion about the physical consequences of this phenomenon is made.
