Formation of ethylene-vinyl acetate composites filled with Al–Cu–Fe and Al–Cu–Cr quasicrystallline particles

Journal of Materials Research and Technology, 2019
Icosahedral Al65Cu23Fe12 and decagonal Al73Cu11Cr16 quasicrystalline powders were synthesized by the mechanical alloying and subsequent annealing. Morphology evolution at mechanical alloying of Al-based powders was found to be determined by competition ...

Large-scale database analysis of anomalous thermal conductivity of quasicrystals and its application to thermal diodes

Science and Technology of Advanced Materials: Methods
One long-standing and crucial issue in the study of quasicrystals has been to identify the physical properties characteristic of quasicrystals. The large positive temperature coefficient of thermal conductivity at temperatures above room temperature ...

Floquet engineering of topological localization transitions and mobility edges in one-dimensional non-Hermitian quasicrystals

Physical Review Research, 2021
Time-periodic driving fields could endow a system with peculiar topological and transport features. In this work, we find dynamically controlled localization transitions and mobility edges in non-Hermitian quasicrystals via shaking the lattice ...

Stability of Quasicrystals Composed of Soft Isotropic Particles

, 2011
Quasicrystals whose building blocks are of mesoscopic rather than atomic scale have recently been discovered in several soft-matter systems. Contrary to metallurgic quasicrystals whose source of stability remains a question of great debate to this day ...

Thermodynamically Stable One-Component Metallic Quasicrystals

, 1997
Classical density-functional theory is employed to study finite-temperature trends in the relative stabilities of one-component quasicrystals interacting via effective metallic pair potentials derived from pseudopotential theory.

Probing the dynamics of quasicrystal growth using synchrotron live imaging [PDF]

, 2005
The dynamics of quasicrystal growth remains an unsolved problem in condensed matter. By means of synchrotron live imaging, facetted growth proceeding by the tangential motion of ledges at the solid-melt interface is clearly evidenced all along the ...

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.
