Spontaneous formation of thermodynamically stable Al--Cu--Fe icosahedral quasicrystal from realistic atomistic simulations
Atomistic MD/MC simulations with DFT-fitted oscillating pair potentials form icosahedral quasicrystal approximants of Al-Cu-Fe, and free-energy calculations predict the quasicrystal is thermodynamically stable above about 600 K.
