REPRESENTATION MATRICES OF THE ICOSAHEDRAL GROUPS I AND Ih
POINT
Wei Min Hu", Jin Long Yang, Jing Zhou, and Fang Shu Department of Physics, University of Science and Technology of China Hefei, The People's Republic of China (Received 20 April 1987)
The irreducible representation matrices of the icosahedral point groups I and Ih are presented. These matrices are useful in calculating the electronic structures of the icosahedral quasicrystals.
1. Introduction It is well known that space group symmetry an extremly important role in energy band plays Such calculations for crystalline solids.[l] are fundamental calculations in understanding those solids from the microscopic point of view. In last of the few years, the discovery quasicrystals has stimulated a lot of work concentrating new exciting on these materials.[Z] But very little work has been done on the electronic structure of quasicrystals. Quasicrystals, unlike crystalline solids, do not have three-dimensional space group symmetry. However, in order to do electronic structure calculations for quasicrystals, point group symmetry can be used. Most quasicrystals discovered so far have the icosahedral point group symmetry. Unfortunately, to the knowledge of the authors, the irreducible representation matrices of the icosahedral point groups have never been published before, probably because before the discovery of the quasicrystals, the icosahedral point groups were considered to be of 'no physical interest, since they do not occur in Nature as symmetry groups of molecules."[3] Recently we completed calculations of all the irreducible representation matrices for the icosahedral point groups I and Ih, which, we believe, will be useful in electronic structure calculations for quasicrystals.
2. Representation
about one of the 6 axes of fifth order. (In Fig.1, for example, axis Oz is such an axis.) We order those elements as the second element to the thirteenth element. The third class also contains 12 elements, 6(C5 m 28 c5 m 3' for m-1,2,---6.), those are either countericiockwise or clockwise rotations of (4s/5) about one of the 6 axes of fifth order. We order those elements as the fourteenth element to the twenty-fifth element. The fourth class contains 20 elements; those are either counter-clockwise or clockwise rotations of 2~/3 about one of the 10 axes of third order, lU(C3 m 19 c3,m 2 m-1,2,----10). (In Fig. 1, for exampl&, axis bo is such an axis.) We order those elements as the twenty-sixth element to the forty-fifth element. The fifth class contains 15 elements. Those are rotations of * about one of the 15 axes of second order (In Fig. 1, for example, axis Oy). We order those elements as the forty-sixth to the sixtieth element.
Matrices
The point group I contains 60 elements divided among 5 classes. We order these 60 elements as following: The first class contains only the identity. We assign it as the first element. The second class contains 12 elements, those aZ~C~i%~r c5 al 4, with m-1,2,----6.), counter-clockwise or clockwise rotations of 2x/5 * Present address: Department of Physics, University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, IN 46556, U.S.A.

For the 7th element we have Having defined these elements of the group, we the multiplication table of the group I, obtain given in Appendices I and II. Mathematically the multiplication table defines the group. The character table of the group I is given in Table I, and has been published before [4]. irreducible calculations, the In many are much more useful. matrices representation representation irreducible Determining the matrices is more complicated and difficult than determining the character table. Here we present all the irreducible representation matrices of five the point group I; each element has matrices: One representation irreducible (Tl and one-dimensional, two three-dimensional and one four-dimensional one (G), T2)v five-dimensional (H). The first element of the group is the identity, which is represented by unit matrices. The A representation is always unity for any element, so we only need give the irreducible representation matrices of Tl, T2, G, and H. They are as follows.

I: Notation
of the element means the n m,p rotation by Psp/n about the counter-clockwise mth order axis C, m. For n-5, we have m-l, 2, . . . , 6; for n-3, we have m-l, 2, . ... 10; for 2, . . . . n-2, we have -1, 2, . . . . 15; and p-l, n-l. C
4. 1987
The elements of the group I are assigned numerical symbols as follows (E-l means that E is assigned the numerical symbol 1.):
The rotation axes can be direction cosines:
57-(5+2J5)li2 10, 58-(2J5-1)/l?, 59-(7+J5)/20, 60-(10-2J5)1/4,5 61-(50+22/5) j2/20, 62-(2/5+1)/10, and 63-(3/5-l)/lO. As a result -19 stands for -[(5-J5)/10]1/2/2, for example. The point group Ih can be considered as the direct product of the point group Ci and the point group I: Ih-IxC . The 120 elements of the point group Ih can c e divided into 10 classes. Therefore the group Ih will have 10 different irreducible representations. After we have given the irreducible representation matrices of the point group I, the irreducible representations are composed of of the point group Ih, which 1200 matrices can be easily obtained.
