The density distribution in soft matter crystals and quasicrystals

The density distribution in solids is often represented as a sum of Gaussian peaks (or similar functions) centred on lattice sites or via a Fourier sum. Here, we argue that representing instead the logarithm of the density distribution via a Fourier sum is better. We show that truncating such a repr...
