High-strength aluminium alloys from the 2XXX, 6XXX, and 7XXX series suffer from severe
hot cracking issues during 3D printing. Thus, there is a need to design new alloys with an …

The ability to watch the three-dimensional (3D) evolution of structural materials is a
breakthrough in non-destructive characterization. In particular, X-ray tomographic imaging …

This book provides an interdisciplinary guide to quasicrystals, the 2011 Nobel Prize in
Chemistry winning topic, by presenting an up-to-date and detailed introduction to the many …

We report the laser-induced solid-state transformation between a periodic “approximant”
and quasicrystal in the Al-Cr system during rapid quenching. Dynamic transmission electron …

During crystallization a continuum of patterns could emerge due to the interplay of growth
kinetics, material or solution chemistry, and crystallographic defects. The coherent twin …

Quasicrystals (QCs) possess long-range positional order but non-crystallographic
orientational order. Their classically 'forbidden'symmetry has long attracted the interest of …

Since the discovery of quasicrystals, there have been continued efforts to explain their
growth mechanisms given that their unique structures violate the rules of conventional …
