Abstract

We perform ab-initio total energy calculations for approximants to a model of decagonal A1CoCu. These calculations support previously proposed chemical ordering of Co and Cu atoms along tile edges. Preferred arrow orientations are identified and shown to obey a subset of the Penrose matching rules.
