Detection of defects in soft quasicrystals with neural networks — •Ali Döner and Michael Schmiedeberg — Institut für Theoretische Physik I, Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU), Staudstr. 7, 91058 Erlangen, Germany

The aim of this work is to construct and employ a neural network for the detection of topological defects in dodecagonal quasicystalline patterns. Even though quasircrystals are aperiodic, they exhibit a longe-range order. Furthermore, in principle any discrete rotational symmetry can occur.

In this work, dodecagonal quasicrystalline patterns in two-dimensions with a built-in dislocation are generated and employed as input images of the neural network. The network then should figure out not only the position but also the type of the Burgers vector of the defect.

Our trained neural network is able to recognize the type of the Burgers vector perfectly. The position of the dislocation is recognized up to a mean deviation from the real position that is much smaller than the small length scale in the quasicrystals. In future, we want to train the network with patterns that contain multiple dislocations as well as phasonic excitations.
