Quasicrystals are a new class of materials that have been discovered in the last few decades. They are characterized by their unique atomic structure, which is neither periodic nor random. This aperiodic Free Download gives quasicrystals a number of unique properties, such as their ability to diffract X-rays and electrons in a way that is not possible for periodic materials.

The discovery of quasicrystals has led to a revolution in our understanding of the nature of matter. They have challenged our traditional notions of crystallography and have opened up new possibilities for the design of new materials with unique properties.

This book is a comprehensive guide to the world of quasicrystals. It is written in a clear and accessible style, and it is packed with full-color illustrations and photographs. It is the ideal resource for students, researchers, and anyone else who is interested in learning more about these fascinating materials.
