Dodecagonal quasicrystals: Construction of 2D lattices and demonstrations using laser pointers

Macedonian Journal of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, 2022
Photographic slides of an aperiodic dodecagonal tiling were used as two-dimensional diffraction gratings to describe and demonstrate the basic properties of dodecagonal quasicrystals. This paper complements our earlier publication on Penrose (decagonal)

Quasicrystals

, 2019
This article is made available for reference. It was written following the March 2006 workshop "The World a Jigsaw: Tessellations in the Sciences" at the Lorentz Center, and due to be published in a book entitled "Tessellations in the Sciences: Virtues, Techniques and Applications of Geometric Tilings" (eds R van de Weijgaert, G Vegter, J Ritzerveld ...

On Elastic Stability and Positive Definiteness for One-Dimensional Quasicrystals

Crystals
In this work, a proper formulation of the elastic stability and positive definiteness of the elastic energy density of one-dimensional quasicrystals is provided. Based on an appropriate Voigt notation, the Sylvester criterion is applied and the necessary

Bridging the local configurations and crystalline counterparts of bulk metallic glass by nanocalorimetry

Journal of Materials Research and Technology, 2019
The structural understanding of crystallization in bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) has attracted much attention while rapid crystallization occurring under controllable conditions is less involved.

Laser induced desorption and ablation: mechanism of metal removal from an Al-Cu-Fe alloy and a quasicrystal of the same composition

International Journal of Photoenergy, 2001
Quasicrystals are a special class of metallic alloys that share some of the properties of crystals. Their structures reduce to a single repeating unit like that of the unit cell of a crystal.

Homogeneous holographic viscoelastic models and quasicrystals

Physical Review Research, 2020
We show that the field theories dual to the homogeneous holographic models with spontaneously broken translations display several distinctive properties of quasicrystals, aperiodic crystals with long-range order (e.g., incommensurate charge density waves)

Deep Learning Enables Rapid Identification of a New Quasicrystal from Multiphase Powder Diffraction Patterns

Advanced Science
Since the discovery of the quasicrystal, approximately 100 stable quasicrystals are identified. To date, the existence of quasicrystals is verified using transmission electron microscopy; however, this technique requires significantly more elaboration ...
