Defects in Static Elasticity of Quasicrystals
A review on mathematical elasticity of quasicrystals is given. In this review, the focus is on various defects of quasicrystals. Dislocation and crack are two classes of typical topological defects, while their existence has great influence on the ...

2D honeycomb transformation into dodecagonal quasicrystals driven by electrostatic forces
Quasicrystals are perfectly ordered crystals lacking translational symmetry. Here the authors unravel the formation mechanism of two-dimensional dodecagonal quasicrystals that arise from systematic modifications of a hexagonal honeycomb structure.

Numerical Methods for Quasicrystals [PDF]
Quasicrystals are one kind of space-filling structures. The traditional crystalline approximant method utilizes periodic structures to approximate quasicrystals.

Formation of a single quasicrystal upon collision of multiple grains
Quasicrystals exhibit long-range order without periodicity. The authors report an approach for quasicrystal fabrication and show through in situ imaging and corresponding simulations the formation of a single decagonal quasicrystal arising from ...

The discretely diffracting aperiodic crystals termed quasicrystals, discovered at NBS in the early 1980s, have led to much interdisciplinary activity involving mainly materials science, physics, mathematics, and crystallography. It led to a new understanding of how atoms can arrange themselves, the role of periodicity in nature, and has created a new ...

Structural Disorder in Quasicrystals [PDF]
One of the challenges of modern crystallography of complex systems (complex metallic alloys, proteins, aperiodic crystals and quasicrystals) is to properly describe the disorder in these systems and discuss correctly the refinement results in terms of ...

Interface crack between dissimilar one-dimensional hexagonal quasicrystals with piezoelectric effect [PDF]
In this paper, an interface crack between dissimilar one-dimensional (1D) hexagonal quasicrystals with piezoelectric effect under anti-plane shear and in-plane electric loadings is studied. By using integral transform techniques, the mixed boundary value

Almost 25 years have passed since Shechtman discovered quasicrystals, and 15 years since the Commission on Aperiodic Crystals of the International Union of Crystallography put forth a provisional definition of the term crystal to mean ``any solid having ...

Three-Dimensional and Two-Dimensional Green Tensors of Piezoelectric Quasicrystals
In this work, within the framework of the linear piezoelectricity theory of quasicrystals, the three-dimensional and two-dimensional Green tensors for arbitrary piezoelectric quasicrystals are derived.
