Description and Table of Contents

Description

The invention of Penrose tiling, the discovery of a diffraction pattern with isosahedral symmetry in 1984 and the simultaneous but independent proposal of the concept of quasicrystals have been combined to form a new area of research: quasicrystals. This book reviews the latest process in the field. Following a general introduction, the contributions consider random tiling models, generalized crystallography, quasicrystal growth, electronic structures in quasiperiodic systems of between on e and three dimensions, and spin statistics. The book will be invaluable to all researchers and graduate students interested in learning how the discovery of quasicrystals has changed our view of solid-state science.
