Crystallography of quasicrystals: concepts, methods and structures
Steurer, Walter
Deloudi, Sofia
From tilings to quasicrystal structures and from surfaces to the n-dimensional approach, this book gives a full, self-contained in-depth description of thecrystallography of quasicrystals. It aims not only at conveying the concepts and a precise picture of the structures of quasicrystals, but it also enables the interested reader to enter the field of quasicrystal structure analysis. Going beyond metallic quasicrystals, it also describes the new, dynamically growing field of photonic quasicrystals. The readership will be graduate studentsand researchers in crystallography, solid-state physics, materials science, solid- state chemistry and applied mathematics. INDICE: Part I.
