The aim of this work is to present a comprehensive and up-to-date review of the main
physical properties (such as energy profiles, localization, scale laws, multifractal analysis …

This is a comprehensive theoretical survey of acoustic wave propagation in layered
materials including elastic, viscoelastic and piezoelectric layers. The phonon modes are …

The aim of this book is to acquaint the reader with what the authors regard as the most basic
characteristics of quasicrystals--structure, formation and stability, and properties--in …

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 …

In this work we consider the role of aperiodic order—order without periodicity—in the design
of different optical devices in one, two and three dimensions. To this end, we will first study …

We report on theoretical results about contact-dependent effects and tunneling currents
through DNA molecules. A tetranucleotide PolyGACT chain, connected in between metallic …

We consider a class of synthetic DNA molecules based on a quasiperiodic arrangement of
their constituent nucleotides. Making use of a two-step renormalization scheme the double …

A variety of heterogeneous potentials are capable of localizing linear noninteracting waves.
In this work, we review different examples of heterogeneous localizing potentials which were …

A theoretical investigation is made of acoustic wave propagation in one-dimensional
phononic bandgap structures made of slender tube loops pasted together with slender tubes …

This article reviews and discusses the most relevant results achieved over recent years from
the study of the electronic structure of quasicrystals (QCs) and related alloys using basically …
