Two-dimensional oxide quasicrystals (OQC) are mono-atomically high ternary oxide layers with 12-fold rotation symmetry forming spontaneous on Pt(111) [1,2]. Here we report on studies of the structural dynamics of the prototypical example of the BaTiO3-derived OQC using surface X-ray diffraction (SXRD) at the SIXS beamline, Soleil. In contrast to periodic systems, temperature-induced changes in the diffraction pattern of OQCs occur not only due to the excitation of phonons (Debye-Waller factor) but also due to additional excitations, called phasons [3]. Both will cause a redistribution of intensity from the Bragg peaks to the diffuse background and will be discussed for temperature-dependent SXRD data in the range from 300 to 1300K. In this way, a separation of frozen-in phason flips and dynamically excited phasons is possible. In addition, changes of the shape of the most intense [1110] diffraction peaks are explained by frozen-in phason flips.
