Abstract

The fabrication of artificial heterostructures is mainly based on substitution systems. We present simple ways to construct double-sided versions of the Fibonacci, Prouhet-Thue-Morse, paperfolding, period doubling and Golay-Rudin-Shapiro sequences. We also construct a generic instance of the two-dimensional Prouhet-Thue-Morse structure and explore its symbolic complexity. The complexity turns out to be polynomial and hence, the entropy goes to zero.
