Over the past seven years, many examples of periodic crystals closely related to
quasicrystalline alloys have been discovered. These crystals have been termed …

The electronic properties of a large number of icosahedral-crystal systems have been
studied experimentally. These systems include alloys of the simple metals and those that …

The development of the concept of quasicrystals has challenged many widely held
assumptions of crystallography and solid state physics. It had been generally assumed that …

The first quasicrystal (QC) structure was observed in 1984. QCs possess long-range
orientational and translational order while lacking the periodicity of crystals. An overview is …

In this paper, we discuss how quenched strains in phonon and phason variables and/or
quenched dislocations can lead to peak broadening and distortion in quasicrystal diffraction …

This review volume provides the most up-to-date and authoritative description of research
on icosahedral solids, which has advanced rapidly since the discovery of these unique …

We obtain quasicrystalline structures in Monte Carlo simulations of a simple two-component
Lennard-Jones system in two dimensions. The quasicrystal, which shows tenfold symmetry …

Although in the prevailing view a necessary condition for having a crystalline phase is lattice
periodicity, it has become clear in the last decades that there are physical systems with …

The aim of this review is to present aperiodic crystals from a unifying point of view, showing
why it is justified to call them crystals, despite the lack of a three-dimensional lattice …

The topological and chemical long range orders in the icosahedral Al 65Cu20Fe15 alloy
have been studied by X-ray powder diffraction. The spectacular enhancement of the …
