Engineering “Meso‐Atom” Bonding: Honeycomb‐Network Transitions in Reticular Liquid Crystals
Rod‐like molecules with highly branched carbosilane‐based side‐chains show two modes of aromatic core aggregation controlled by core fluorination. Serving as “meso‐atom bonds,” the locked‐in shift mode due to strong core–core interaction from fluorination replaces the A15‐type 3D cubic liquid crystal network phase by honeycombs with 2D periodicity ...

Employing the spin-wave formalism within and beyond the harmonic-oscillator approx-imation, we study the dynamic structure factors of spin-12 nearest-neighbor quantum Heisenberg antiferromagnets on two-dimensional quasiperiodic lattices with particular ...

Synthesis of Star-Shaped Boron Carbide Micro-Crystallites under High Pressure and High Temperatures
We synthesized star-shaped pentagonal microcrystals of boron carbide with an extremely low carbon content (~5%), from m-carborane under high pressure (7 GPa) and high temperature (1370⁻1670 K). These crystals have five-fold symmetry and grow in the

Using molecular simulations, we show that the aperiodic growth of quasicrystals is controlled by the ability of the growing quasicrystal `nucleus' to incorporate kinetically trapped atoms into the solid phase with minimal rearrangement.

Previously unknown quasicrystal periodic approximant found in space
We report the discovery of Al34Ni9Fe2, the first natural known periodic crystalline approximant to decagonite (Al71Ni24Fe5), a natural quasicrystal composed of a periodic stack of planes with quasiperiodic atomic order and ten-fold symmetry.

Daisies, and composite flowers, exhibit an ordered arrangement of florets (phyllotaxis) generated by a simple algorithm. Their structure has self-similarity (inflation), golden mean, Fibonacci numbers, and quasicrystalline grain boundaries, for elementary crystallographic (homogeneity) and biological reasons. Grain boundaries are also 2π-disclinations.

This Perspective bridges between the frontiers of macromolecular chemistry and supramolecular chemistry with the help of living cationic‐ring opening polymerization of self‐organizable cyclic imino ethers. The goal of this research is to attempt to bring synthetic self‐organizations to the same level of perfection and functionality similar to that of ...

Structure of the icosahedral Ti-Zr-Ni quasicrystal
The atomic structure of the icosahedral Ti-Zr-Ni quasicrystal is determined by invoking similarities to periodic crystalline phases, diffraction data and the results from ab initio calculations.

Local spectral estimates and quantitative weak mixing for substitution Z${\mathbb {Z}}$‐actions
Abstract The paper investigates Hölder and log‐Hölder regularity of spectral measures for weakly mixing substitutions and the related question of quantitative weak mixing. It is assumed that the substitution is primitive, aperiodic, and its substitution matrix is irreducible over the rationals.

The eight-fold way for optical quasicrystals
In a recent Letter we proposed a means to realize a quasicrystal with eight-fold symmetry by trapping particles in an optical potential created by four lasers.
