The geometrical concept and structural framework of quasicrystals (QCs) were established
shortly after the discovery of QCs. Specifically, the static and dynamic properties of the atoms …

In this Account, I will describe the discoveries of a series of stable quasicrystals in which I
participated during the past 15 years. These discoveries led to a paradigm shift in the field of …

All stable quasicrystals known so far are composed of at least three metallic elements,,,.
Sixteen years after the discovery of the quasicrystal, we describe a stable binary …

Certain cytosine residues of eukaryotic DNA are methylated in inactive regions of the
genome. For a long time the fruitfly Drosophila was thought to be an exception,,,, but now the …

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 …

Microstructures and mechanical properties of Mg-Zn-Y alloys containing icosahedral phase
(I-phase) as a secondary solidification phase have been investigated in the composition …

Superior mechanical properties with high ductility at room and higher temperatures have
been achieved by extruding Mg95Zn4. 2Y0. 8 and Mg92. 5Zn6. 4Y alloys at 523 K. The …

The microstructure, mechanical properties and corrosion properties of Mg–Zn–Y alloys with
low Zn content have been investigated in detail by the use of optical microscopy, SEM …
