我们开发了一个三维可视化系统，有助于研究具有复杂结构和特征旋转对称性的准晶的物理性质。我们的系统由两个软件包组成;一个用于真实的空间，另一个用于倒易空间。这两个软件包都是作为开源软件分发的，并配备了一些对二十面体对称有用的命令，以便不仅处理晶体，而且处理准晶。该软件包为真实的空间，可以可视化的原子和伊辛模型模拟的结构和磁性研究的帕特森地图的安排。它具有灵活的控制各种几何参数，并可以设置的Cahn指数的看法方向。这个包是使用Java 3D开发的，它在许多操作系统下运行相同的代码。倒易空间的软件包可以可视化第一布里渊区和更大的区域，并可以计算与费米球的交叉点，用于研究准晶体的稳定机制等电子特性。
We have developed a 3D visualization system helpful for the study of physical properties of quasicrystals which have complex structures and characteristic rotation symmetries. Our system consists of two software packages; one for real space and another for reciprocal space. Both packages are distributed as open-source software and are equipped with some commands useful for icosahedral symmetry in order to treat not only crystals but also quasicrystals. The package for real space can visualize arrangement of atoms and Patterson maps of Ising model simulations for structural and magnetic studies. It has flexibility to control various geometric parameters and can set the view direction by Cahn’s indices. This package is developed using Java 3D which runs the same code under many operating systems. The package for reciprocal space can visualize the first Brillouin zone and larger zones and can calculate the intersection with a Fermi sphere for the study of electronic properties like stabilization mechanisms of quasicrystals.
