We now confine our attention to the plane in which the symmetry acts (Scherrer 1946), illustrated with lattice vectors in the figure. Lattices restrict polygons Compatible: 6-fold (3-fold), 4-fold (2-fold) Incompatible: 8-fold, 5-fold. Now consider an 8-fold rotation, and the displacement vectors between adjacent points of the polygon.
The pattern represented by every finite patch of tiles in a Penrose tiling occurs infinitely many times throughout the tiling. They are quasicrystals: implemented as a physical structure a Penrose tiling will produce diffraction patterns with Bragg peaks and five-fold symmetry, revealing the repeated patterns and fixed orientations of its tiles ...
The more precise mathematical definition is that there is never translational symmetry in more than n – 1 linearly independent directions, where n is the dimension of the space filled, e.g., the three-dimensional tiling displayed in a quasicrystal may have translational symmetry in two directions.

The two groups are obtained from it by changing 2-fold rotational symmetry to 4-fold, and adding 5-fold symmetry, respectively. There are two crystallographic point groups with the property that no crystallographic point group has it as proper subgroup: O h and D 6h. Their maximal common subgroups, depending on orientation, are D 3d and D 2h.
This is followed by a digit, n, indicating the highest order of rotational symmetry: 1-fold (none), 2-fold, 3-fold, 4-fold, or 6-fold. The next two symbols indicate symmetries relative to one translation axis of the pattern, referred to as the "main" one; if there is a mirror perpendicular to a translation axis that is the main one (or if there ...
Pentagonite is a rare silicate mineral with formula Ca(VO)Si 4 O 10 ·4(H 2 O). It was named for the unusual twinning called a fiveling with an apparent five-fold symmetry. [2] It is a dimorph of cavansite.
