The discovery of quasicrystals by Shechtman et al. in 1982–84 has revolutionised our
understanding of crystals and order in solids. Shechtman was awarded a Nobel Prize in …

On the basis of displacement and temperature discontinuity boundaries, the three-
dimensional fracture behavior of an interface crack is investigated in a one-dimensional …

This paper aims to study the Mode-I penny-shaped crack problem of an infinite body of one-
dimensional hexagonal piezoelectric quasicrystal. The problem is transformed into a mixed …

Abstract Solar Thermoelectric Generators (STEGs) hold promise for sustainable energy, with
ongoing efforts to enhance efficiency through advanced thermal absorbers. This study …

Quasicrystalline materials with piezoelectric effects show significant potential for advancing

This study proposes to characterize through analysis of wettability and surface energy of
Al59Cu25. 5Fe12. 5B3 and Al65Co18Cu17 quasicrystalline (QC) coatings produced by high …

When recycled material is used to produce quasicrystal-forming alloys, their price is
reduced, which makes them even more attractive. Therefore, this study reports the …

In order to improve the energy harvesting efficiency of airflow energy harvester based on
diamagnetic levitation, structure parameters and position relationships between the coils …

Energy harvesting is the process of capturing and converting ambient energy into electrical
energy that can power low-power electronic devices. Energy harvesting from thermal …

A Ti40Zr40Ni20 quasicrystal (QCs) rod and ribbons were prepared by conventional casting
and rapid solidification. The X-ray diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscopy …
