Abstract

Recently much attention has been paid to the search of soft quasicrystals. In view of simulation studies, we explain how to construct quasicrystalline structures: The introduction of additional components, or new length scales is the key to find quasicrystals. We review some results from early to recent studies. In addition, we explain higher dimensional method, approximants, the theory of phason fluctuations, discussion about the origin of the formation of quasicrystals. Finally, we explain our recent studies on ABC star copolymer systems and present the results of simulations of dodecagonal polymeric quasicrystals. To find dodecagonal quasicrystals, the key is to search square-triangle tiling structures with changing components. The role of phason dynamics is also described.
