On Elastic Stability and Positive Definiteness for One-Dimensional Quasicrystals
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

Clusters, phason elasticity, and entropic stabilisation: a theory perspective
Personal comments are made about the title subjects, including: the relation of Friedel oscillations to Hume-Rothery stabilisation; how calculations may resolve the random-tiling versus ideal pictures of quasicrystals; and the role of entropies apart ...

This Special Issue aims at gaining a deeper understanding on the relationship between the underlying structural order and the resulting physical properties in aperiodic systems, including quasicrystalline and related complex metallic alloys, photonic ...

Emergent Quasicrystalline Symmetry in Light-Induced Quantum Phase Transitions
The discovery of quasicrystals with crystallographically forbidden rotational symmetries has changed the notion of the ordering in materials, yet little is known about the dynamical emergence of such exotic forms of order.

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.

Quasicrystals and Other Aperiodic Structures in Mineralogy
In this article, we first present and discuss eighteenth-century descriptions of minerals that contributed decisively to the development of crystallography.

Free path lengths in quasicrystals
Previous studies of kinetic transport in the Lorentz gas have been limited to cases where the scatterers are distributed at random (e.g. at the points of a spatial Poisson process) or at the vertices of a Euclidean lattice.

Homogeneous holographic viscoelastic models and quasicrystals
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)

Spin correlations and fluctuations in the 3d-transition-metal-based icosahedral quasicrystal Zn-Fe-Sc have been investigated by neutron scattering using polycrystalline samples.
