"Aperiodic Crystals" collects 37 selected papers from the
scientific contributions presented at "Aperiodic" 2012 - theSeventh
International Conference on Aperiodic Crystalsheld held in Cairns,
Australia, 2-7 of September 2012.
The volume discusses state-of-the-art discoveries, new trends
and applications of aperiodic crystals - including incommensurately
modulated crystals, composite crystals, and quasicrystals - from a
wide range of different perspectives. Starting with a general
historical introduction to aperiodic crystals, the book proceeds to
examine the complex mathematics of aperiodic long-range order, as
well as the theoretical approaches aimed at understanding some of
the unique properties and mechanisms underlying the existence of
aperiodic crystals. The book then explores in detail such topics as
complex metallic alloys, modulated structures, quasicrystals and
their approximants, dynamics, disorder and defects in
quasicrystals. It concludes with an analysis of quasicrystal
surfaces and their properties.
By describing the latest research and the progress made on the
structure determination of aperiodic crystals and the influence of
this unique structure on their physical properties, this book
represents a valuable resource to mathematicians,
crystallographers, physicists, chemists, materials and surface
scientists, and even architects and artists, interested in the
fascinating nature of aperiodic crystals.
