  abstract={The thermodynamic properties of a nearest neighbour J frustrated XY-model
on a two-dimensional (2D) Penrose lattice were investigated using Monte
Carlo simulations. We have investigated the energy, specific heat,
magnetization, Edwards-Anderson order parameter, and susceptibility to
determine the possibility of a low temperature spin glass phase in this
system. Studies of an unfrustrated XY-model on a Penrose lattice point to a
Kosterlitz-Thouless (KT) transition in the low temperature region. Recent
work on the so-called Fully Frustrated XY (FFXY) model, support a spin
glass transition. The results obtained in this study also point to a
possible paramagnetic to spin glass transition in this region.},
