In this NATO-sponsored Advanced Research Workshop we succeeded in
bringing together approximately forty scientists working in the
three main areas of structurally incommensurate materials:
incommensurate crystals (primarily ferroelectric insulators),
incommensurate liquid crystals, and metallic quasi-crystals.
Although these three classes of materials are quite distinct, the
commonality of the physics of the origin and descrip tion of these
incommensurate structures is striking and evident in these
proceedings. A measure of the success of this conference was the
degree to which interaction among the three subgroups occurred;
this was facili tated by approximately equal amounts of theory and
experiment in the papers presented. We thank the University of
Colorado for providing pleasant housing and conference facilities
at a modest cost, and we are especially grate ful to Ann Underwood,
who retyped all the manuscripts into camera-ready form. J. F. Scott
