31. See EPAPS Document No. E-PRBMDO-71-118517 for a movie of a cracking model quasicrystal at a high load (5p2,k=1.6). This document can be reached via a direct link in the online article's HTML reference section or via the EPAPS homepage (http://www.aip.org/pubservs/epaps.html). By displaying only atoms with a low-coordination-number fracture surfaces are visualized. Blue (black in Fig. 1) and red (gray in Fig. 1) balls correspond to the atoms in the icosahedral binary model. Atoms on the border, which are not allowed to move, are colored in yellow and green. On the left the atomically sharp seed crack can be seen. Due to the high deformation near the crack tip, blue atoms lose their neighbors and show up for short instances.
