In this volume we aim to introduce recent progress in the study of
aperiodic materials, which include icosahedral clusters, amorphous
metals, quasicrys- tals, glasses, and liquids. Quasicrystals,
discovered in 1984, correspond to a kind of revolution in our
understanding of crystallography, wherein the five-fold rotational
symmetry was prohibited in long-range ordered systems. Various
interesting physicochemical properties of these materials strongly
depend on structural inhomogeneity at the microscopic level, and
the small angle X-ray scattering method is widely used to analyze
such structures. These new materials provide fundamental
improvements to materials prop- erties, and are not only
scientifically interesting but also industrially impor- tant for
applications such as ultrafine magnetic recording media and future
electronic devices. This book contains three chapters. The first
chapter, written by H. Tanaka and T. Fujiwara, deals with
'Electronic Structure in Aperiodic Materials', and reviews the
application of theoretical methods to determine the elec- tronic
structures and resulting properties of amorphous metals, quasicrys-
tals, and liquids. The second chapter, written by Y. Waseda, K.
Sugiyama, and A. H. Shinohara, covers the recent topic of
'Anomalous Small Angle X- ray Scattering for Structural
Inhomogeneity of Materials', starting with its fundamentals. The
third chapter, 'Icosahedral Clusters in RE(TM - Al h3 1 x x
Amorphous Alloys', by K. Fukamichi, A. Fujita, T. H. Chang, E.
Matsubara, and Y.
