Hydrodynamic structure factor of quasicrystals — •Andreas Chatzopoulos and Hans-Rainer Trebin — Institut für Theoretische und Angewandte Physik, Universität Stuttgart, Germany

A theory of the hydrodynamic structure factor for quasicrystals is developed and exploited. Based on the hydrodynamic equations for icosahedral quasicrystals we introduce the terms of dynamic correlation and response. The phononic and phasonic diffuse part of the dynamic structure factor are examined in detail in frequency and time domain. We present a complete set of solutions for the hydrodynamic equations. Out of the diffusive modes we separately study the phasonic diffusion, the anisotropy of the phasonic diffusion constants and the general solution for phason wall diffusion. All results include phonon-phason coupling.
