Design and characterisation of photonic quasicrystals from microwave to optical regime [PDF]
Photonic band-gap materials are artificially periodic engineered materials with which we can control and manipulate the electromagnetic radiation. The period photonic crystals are well known and have been studied for the last two decades.

Quasicrystals - Discovery, Structure and Properties [PDF]
Quasicrystals are solid materials the structures of which can have crystallographically forbidden symmetries, e.g. of the fifth order, and do not have the translational invariance charactistic for classical crystals.

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 ...

A parsimonious structure model for the icosahedral quasicrystal Cd5.7Yb
The paper presents a parsimonious structure model for the icosahedral Cd5.7Yb quasicrystal. It employs only spherical and elliptical occupation domains, which significantly decreases the number of parameters and the required calculation effort. Still, the model describes the characteristic structural features with considerable accuracy.A compact ...

Structure models of quasicrystal approximants deduced from the strong reflections approach in quasicrystals: types, systems and techniques [PDF]
Quasicrystals are metallic alloys that exhibit atomic scale order, but not periodic order. Atomic scale properties of these materials are different from single crystalline material, for example, extraordinary mechanical properties, electrical and thermal

Abstract We report the discovery of the second (Al,Cu)‐alloy–bearing micrometeorite, FB‐A2, recovered from Mount Gariglione (southern Italy), representing the sixth such occurrence worldwide. Although chondritic in nature, FB‐A2 differs markedly from previously described microspherules.

Cation Distribution in Li2CaSiO4:Gd, Pr, Na Uncovered Through Anomalous Diffraction
Li2CaSiO4 co‐doped with Gd3+ and Pr3+ shows strong blue‐to‐UV‐B up‐conversion. Herein, we explore the doping element distribution in order to discern the reason for the strongly supportive co‐doping effect using high‐resolution Rietveld refinement and multiple‐edge anomalous dispersion measurements.

The Curled Up Dimension in Quasicrystals [PDF]
Most quasicrystals can be generated by the cut-and-project method from higher dimensional parent lattices. In doing so they lose the periodic order their parent lattice possess, replaced with aperiodic order, due to the irrationality of the projection ...

Y4Ni0.71Ag1.29: Expanding the Boundaries of the Gd4RhIn Structure Type
A first representative of the Gd4RhIn type with three transition metals. The new ternary compound Y4Ni0.71Ag1.29 has been prepared by arc melting the elements under inert atmosphere. Subsequent annealing at 800°C for 2 weeks yielded crystals of sufficient quality for structure determination by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction.
