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 materials in 1984. The
present book, intended as a companion volume to the reprint volume
on The Physics of Quasicrystals edited by P Steinhardt and S
Ostlund, will be invaluable to graduate students and workers in the
field as a comprehensive reference. Scientists in related fields
can use it as a readable introduction to the important current
problems in quasicrystals. The chapters have been written by many
of the most prominent theorists and experimentalists on
quasicrystals, both physicists and materials scientists, from
around the world. Especially exciting are the details of the recent
discovery of "perfect quasi-crystals", new materials which promise
to be an ideal form of quasiperiodic matter with little or no
disorder. Other topics include: electron, X-ray and neutron
quasi-crystallography, scanning tunneling microscopy studies,
electronic transport experiments, quasicrystal faceting and
statistical mechanics, growth rules and matching rules for
quasicrystals, group theory and elasticity theory.
