Fig. 5

Simulated magnetization directions (black arrows and color wheel) for representative connected and disconnected bars on Penrose (a)–(d) P2 and (e)–(h) P3 tilings. The total energies in units of 10−16 J are (a) 1.01, (b) 1.85, (c) 1.20, (d) 1.30, (e) 0.83, (f) 1.51, (g) 0.96, and (h) 1.03, respectively. The values Q depicted in the graphs indicate the total charge of the respective input magnetization configuration.
