Twists and Turns of Liquid Crystals Unravelled by Small‐Angle Scattering
Small Methods, Volume 10, Issue 3, 9 February 2026.X‐ray scattering provides valuable insights into material structure and self‐assembly. This review discusses the use of small‐ and wide‐angle X‐ray scattering (SWAXS) as well as grazing incident SWAXS for examining self‐assembled systems, especially liquid crystals.

Crystallographic features of the approximant H (Mn$_7$Si$_2$V) phase in the Mn-Si-V alloy system
, 2017 The intermetallic compound H (Mn$_7$Si$_2$V) phase in the Mn-Si-V alloy system can be regarded as an approximant phase of the dodecagonal quasicrystal as one of the two-dimensional quasicrystals.

First-order localization and quantum phase transition induced by quasicrystal imaginary domain
Physical Review ResearchThe non-Hermitian extension of quasicrystals provides a highly tunable system for exploring novel material phases. While extended-localized phase transitions have been observed in one dimension, quantum phase transitions in higher dimensions and various ...

Stability of a hard-sphere binary quasicrystal
, 1998 The stability of a quasicrystalline structure, recently obtained in a molecular-dynamics simulation of rapid cooling of a binary melt, is analyzed for binary hard-sphere mixtures within a density-functional approach. It is found that this quasicrystal is

Time‐Domain Near‐Field Scanning Microscopy of Terahertz Metasurfaces
Advanced Photonics Research, Volume 7, Issue 1, January 2026.Time‐domain near‐field scanning terahertz microscopy provides direct access to subwavelength electromagnetic fields on metasurfaces. By combining controlled polarization excitation with nanoscale probing, this technique enables quantitative visualization of localized hotspots, surface‐wave propagation, and wavefront manipulation, offering a powerful ...

ON SELF-SIMILARITIES OF CUT-AND-PROJECT SETS
Acta Polytechnica, 2017 Among the commonly used mathematical models of quasicrystals are Delone sets constructed using a cut-and-project scheme, the so-called cut-and-project sets.

, 2010 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.

Tight-binding models in a quasiperiodic optical lattice
, 2014 This paper describes how one can use four standing wave laser fields to realize a two dimensional optical quasicrystal with eight-fold symmetry, closely related to the well-known octagonal or Ammann-Beenker tiling quasicrystal.

Reconstructing Focal Topological Curves through Vortex Spots from Multifocal Metasurfaces
Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 48, December 29, 2025.Multichannel multifocal silicon metasurfaces are built to reconstruct focal topological curves using an array of vortex spots, and upconverted fluorescence is used to directly visualize the morphology of the near‐infrared focal fields. Abstract Structured light plays an important role in modern photonics.
