Since the discovery of quasicrystals by D. Shechtman 1 many efforts have been made to understand the peculiar structure of these materials as well as their unusual combination of properties. The ...

Abstract: The thermopower in AlPdMn quasicrystalline systems is explored. Thermopower in metals, semiconductors and metallic glasses are compared in relation to icosahedral AlPdMn quasicrystals. Due ...

ABSTRACT: The review is devoted to introduce the recent development of the study in mathematical theory and methods of mechanics of quasicrystals, respectively. The mechanics of quasicrystalline ...

In this paper, we are going to study the surface structure and existing symmetry by simulation of a quasicrystal Al-Pd- Mn. Quasicrystals have unique properties in their own structure. In the surface ...

Icosahedral quasicrystals (i-QCs) are long-range ordered solids that show non-crystallographic symmetries such as five-fold rotations. Their detailed atomic structures are still far from completely ...

The alternative text for this image may have been generated using AI. The second and third columns in Fig. 2 summarize measured Laue diffraction patterns (4 and 8 μm sample thickness for the second ...

Angle-dispersive monochromatic x-ray diffraction spectra from a perfect single-grain AlPdMn quasicrystal have been obtained under hydrostatic pressure in a diamond anvil cell up to 35 GPa. More than ...

We report on the study of the dynamics of long wavelength phason fluctuations in the i-AlPdMn icosahedral phase using coherent x-ray scattering. When measured with a coherent x-ray beam, the diffuse ...

Positron annihilation studies of vacancies, atomic processes and phase transformations in quasicrystals will be reported, where icosahedral AlPdMn, ZnMgHo, decagonal AlNiCo and related approximants ...
