First high-resolution synchrotron X-ray study of icosahedrite, a natural quasicrystal from the Khatyrka meteorite [PDF]

IUCrJ
Quasicrystals are long-range-ordered materials with rotational symmetry incompatible with periodicity. Takakura et al. [(2025). IUCrJ 12, 435–443] present a study of a single grain of icosahedrite, the first natural icosahedral quasicrystal, which was ...

Distinguishing local isomorphism classes in quasicrystals by high-order harmonic spectroscopy [PDF]

Nature Communications
Electron diffraction spectroscopy is a fundamental tool for investigating quasicrystal structures, which unveils the quasiperiodic long-range order. Nevertheless, it falls short in effectively distinguishing separate local isomorphism classes.

Magnetic dynamics of ferromagnetic long range order in icosahedral quasicrystal [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2022
Quasicrystals lack translational symmetry and have unique lattice structures with rotational symmetry forbidden in periodic crystals. The electric state and physical property are far from complete understanding, which are the frontiers of modern matter ...

Quasicrystal metasurface for optical holography and diffraction [PDF]

Light: Science & Applications
Quasicrystal metasurfaces, a kind of two-dimensional artificial optical materials with subwavelength meta-atoms arranged in quasi-periodic tiling schemes, have attracted extensive attentions due to their novel optical properties. In a recent work, a dual-

Discharge performance of Mg–Zn–Y alloys by regulating quasicrystal I phase as anodes for Mg-air battery

Journal of Materials Research and Technology
To investigate the influence of the morphology and amount of quasicrystal I phase on discharge performance, a comparative study is conducted on the discharge characteristics of Mg-2.4Zn-0.4Y (ZW-1), Mg-3.6Zn-0.6Y (ZW-2), and Mg-4.8Zn-0.8Y (ZW-3).

Observation of dispersive acoustic quasicrystals [PDF]

Nature Communications
Moiré quasicrystals, formed by stacking periodic structures with a relative twist between them, exhibit many exotic phenomena. Their quasiperiodicity leads to effects such as light localization-delocalization transitions, superconductivity, topological ...

Hartree–Fock interaction in superconducting condensate fractals [PDF]

Beilstein Journal of Nanotechnology
It is well known that the Hartree–Fock (HF) interaction does not alter observables in conventional superconductors as its effect is mainly reduced to a chemical potential shift.

Comprehensive experimental datasets of quasicrystals and their approximants [PDF]

Scientific Data
Quasicrystals are solid-state materials that typically exhibit unique symmetries, such as icosahedral or decagonal diffraction symmetry. They were first discovered in 1984.

BN Diamane-like Quasicrystal Based on 30° Twisted H-BN Bilayers and Its Approximants: Features of the Atomic Structure and Electronic Properties

Crystals, 2023
The dodecagonal graphene quasicrystal (GQC) based on a 30° twisted bigraphene has been well investigated. Recently, the sp3-hybridizated carbon analog, the diamane quasicrystal as a H(F) functionalized GQC was proposed.
