Electrical and thermal transport properties of quasicrystals are reviewed on the examples of i-
Ag–In–Yb and i-Al–Cu–Fe icosahedral phases and d-Al–Co–Ni decagonal phase. Using …

Tsai-type icosahedral quasicrystals (i-QCs) are present in numerous alloy systems. Among
them, the icosahedral Ag–In–Yb quasicrystal (i-Ag–In–Yb) is regarded as a prototype for …

The atomic structure and electronic properties of the (100) surface of the Au-Si-Ho Tsai-type
quasicrystalline approximant has been investigated under ultrahigh vacuum conditions …

Quasicrystals, materials with aperiodic long-range order, have been found in intermetallics,
soft materials such as colloids and supermolecules, and also in two-dimensional monolayer …

The analysis of low-temperature specific heat of rare-earth (RE)-containing quasicrystals
and periodic approximants and consequent interpretation of their electronic properties in the …

Herein, the effect of Yb, Al, Cu and Au metal substrates on the electrical performance of
germanium oxide-based devices is reported. Back-to-back Schottky-type metal-insulator …

In a search for unconventional heavy-Fermion compounds with the localized 4f moments
distributed quasiperiodically instead of a conventional distribution on a regular …

This study represents the experimental comparative analysis of the thermoelectric properties
in an Ag-In-Yb phason-free icosahedral quasicrystal (iQC) and four phason-strained iQCs …

We report a study of the atomic structure of the threefold icosahedral (i-) Ag–In–Yb
quasicrystal surface using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and low energy electron …

The structural, magnetic, and Mössbauer spectral properties of the approximant Al 76 Ni 9
Fe 15 to a decagonal Al–Ni–Fe quasicrystal, complemented by ab-initio electronic structure …
