The discovery of a novel class of oxide quasicrystals (OQC) leads to a new field in surface and material science research. BaTiO3 develops a 2D structure of twelve-fold rotational symmetry when prepared as thin film on Pt(111) [1]. In order to determine the atomic structure and the statistics of the tiling, a software based approach for the drift correction and the extraction of atomic coordinates from atomically resolved STM images has been developed. The OQC structure is composed by an aperiodic arrangement of triangular, quadratic, and rhombic building blocks, comparable to the Stampfli-Gähler-Tiling [2]. Angles, edge lengths, and frequency of occurre of the OQC tiling elements have been extracted and will be compared with the theoretical model.
