Figure 1

(a) Archimedean tiling (AT) of type ($3^2.4.3.4$) corresponding to the pattern observed in 1, Figs. 3(a) and 3(b). The circular path is used to characterize the AT and the symbols ▪ and ◆ represent examples for fourfold and twofold rotational symmetry axes, respectively. The unit cell is drawn with bold lines. (b) Structure factor of the corresponding point pattern.
