Stability of Two-Dimensional Soft Quasicrystals
, 2015 The relative stability of two-dimensional soft quasicrystals is examined using a recently developed projection method which provides a unified numerical framework to compute the free energy of periodic crystal and quasicrystals. Accurate free energies of

Quantum transport in quasicrystals and complex metallic alloys [PDF]
, 2007 The semi-classical Bloch-Boltzmann theory is at the heart of our understanding of conduction in solids, ranging from metals to semi-conductors. Physical systems that are beyond the range of applicability of this theory are thus of fundamental interest ...

Line Defects in Two-Dimensional Dodecagonal Quasicrystals
MathematicsIn this work, line defects in two-dimensional dodecagonal quasicrystals are investigated. Using the ten-dimensional framework of the integral formalism of two-dimensional quasicrystals, the closed-form solutions for the displacement fields and stress ...

Journal of Non-Crystalline Solids, 1985 We introduce the concept of quasicrystals and discuss their diffraction patterns. The idea of local isomorphism is argued to be a physically meaningful one.

Large spatial Goos-Hänchen shifts from quasicrystals with graphene
Results in Physics, 2020 We investigate the spatial Goos-Hänchen (GH) shift of reflected beam from quasicrystals composed of Fibonacci dielectrics and graphene. The quasicrystals are composed of two symmetrical Fibonacci dielectrics and graphene is embedded in the center of the ...

Designing the Self-Assembly of Disordered Materials Via Color Frustration. [PDF]
Adv MaterWhat if disorder can be designed? This work introduces a strategy to self‐assemble amorphous materials by designing bonding rules for patchy particles that suppress crystallinity and promote frustration. The designer particles nucleate a network of dodecahedral cages from the liquid, yielding a novel equilibrium amorphous phase. This approach redefines

Precipitation of multi-type nano-quasicrystals in a Mg-Zn-Y alloy
Journal of Magnesium and AlloysMg-6Zn-1Y (at.%) ribbons with strengthening precipitates of multi-type nanoquasicrystals were prepared by melt-spinning followed by aging treatments. Microstructural evolution of the rapidly solidified ribbons during isothermal aging was comprehensively ...

Quasicrystals – A Paradigm Shift in Crystallography?
CHIMIA, 2014 The discovery of quasicrystals had important consequences for our understanding of long-range order in thermodynamic equilibrium, the definition of the term 'crystal' as well as diffraction theory.
