About the Book

The discovery of five-fold diffraction symmetry by D. Schechtman in 1985 shocked crystallography to its roots. Incommensurable modulation of a crystal changes former identical unit cells into different ones. This radical revolution has given rise to the study of an entirely new class of materials. This study of these quasi-periodic crystals aims to elucidate the fundamentals of crystallography and the relationship between lattice structure and macroscopic properties. This book covers the transitions between the crystalline and quasicrystalline state. A thorough understanding of the transition from quasiperiodic to periodic lattices is essential in order to investigate the uniqueness of quasicrystals. This volume provides an overview of the most important problems in quasicrystalline states. A thorough understanding of the transition from quasiperiodic to periodic lattices is essential in order to investigate the uniqueness of quasicrystals. Leading experts provide an insight into recent experimental advances achieved by studying the phase transitions between crystalline and quasicrystalline states. In the theoretical chapters, the reader is introduced to the depth of insight into the nature of crystallography which has arisen through a rigorous understanding of the quasicrystal structure. This text provides a source of reference for crystallographers, crystal growers, and solid state physicists working in the field.
