Abstract
The standard two-dimensional decagonal binary tiling quasicrystal with Lennard-Jones potentials is metastable at zero temperature with respect to one phason strain mode. By calculating the frequencies of local environments as a function of phason strain, a correction for the potentials is predicted, which stabilizes the quasicrystal
