Over the past seven years, many examples of periodic crystals closely related to
quasicrystalline alloys have been discovered. These crystals have been termed …

The electronic properties of a large number of icosahedral-crystal systems have been
studied experimentally. These systems include alloys of the simple metals and those that …

The discovery of new solids exhibiting symmetries forbidden for ordinary crystals was first
reported by Shechtman, Blech, Gratias and Cahn (1984) in Al-Mn and Al-Mn-Si alloys. In the …

The structural stability and electronic properties of the ternary intermetallic compounds
NiSnM (M= Ti, Zr, Hf) and the closely related Heusler compounds Ni 2 SnM are discussed …

In this work we consider the role of aperiodic order in different domains of science and
technology from an interdisciplinary approach. To start with, we introduce some general …

The optical conductivity of quasicrystals is characterized by two features not seen in ordinary
metallic systems. There is an absence of the Drude peak and the interband conductivity …

Bulk icosahedral-quasicrystalline aluminum-palladium-rhenium alloys of high structural
quality and thermal stability are found to exhibit low-temperature electrical resistivities that …

The electronic structures are calculated for several crystalline approximants of quasicrystals,
AlCuLi and AlFe. The densities of states of these systems, and also of AlMn, suggest …

Aluminum based alloys which contain transition metal elements with concentrations up to
25% and additional small quantities of silicon, have a wide variety of atomic structures with …

One of the Top Selling Physics Books according to YBP Library ServicesOrder can be found
in all the structures unfolding around us at different scales, including in the arrangements of …
