Abstract

The Gorsky-Bragg-Williams (GBW) theory has been modified to describe phase transitions caused by the ordering of two kinds of atoms in the even and the odd sublattices of the structures of icosahedral quasicrystals with the dodecahedral local order (DLO) and their approximants. The modified method is exemplified by numerical calculations of such phase transitions in the structures of several simplest approximants.
