A predicted quasicrystal is based on the ‘einstein’ tile known as the hat
The theoretical material is similar to graphene, but it isn’t a regular crystal
In this animation, a simulated material based on the hat tile shows electrons becoming trapped as the magnetic field is increased. (Warmer colors indicate a higher probability to find an electron with zero energy in a given location.) Electrons get trapped around the tiles that are mirror-images of the hat.
