Phys. Rev. B 51, 15833–15840 (1995)Nucleation of quasicrystals by rapid cooling of a binary melt: A molecular-dynamics studyReceived 14 October 1994; published in the issue dated 1 June 1995 A binary Lennard-Jones fluid was cooled in an NPT ensemble by molecular-dynamics simulations. Depending on the cooling rate, we find a sharp transition from the melt either into a disordered structure or into a phase of icosahedral long-range order. We also observed a decagonal phase. © 1995 The American Physical Society URL:
