Phys. Rev. Lett. 60, 2653–2656 (1988)Growing Perfect QuasicrystalsReceived 16 March 1988; published in the issue dated 20 June 1988 We present an approach for aggregating Penrose tiles to form a defect-free, 2D pentagonal quasicrystal tiling. Contrary to conventional wisdom, defect-free quasiperiodic tilings can be constructed by use of local rules alone. The results provide new insights as to how materials with only short-range atomic interactions can grow large, nearly perfect quasicrystal grains. © 1988 The American Physical Society URL:
