Topological magnetic textures and long-range orders in terbium-based quasicrystal and approximant. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2021 Significance So far, the lack of microscopic theory for the crystalline electric field (CEF) in the rare earth–based quasicrystal has prevented us from understanding the magnetic property.

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