Abstract
We report the observation of ordered capillary-wave states generated by three and four standing plane waves. The pattern produced by the four standing plane waves forms the first quasicrystal observed in a fluid dynamical system. The states are observed at aspect ratios above 45, and for amplitudes below the amplitude at which a square-symmetric state is formed. We also report the observation of a capillary-wave state generated by three radial waves.Keywords
