QUASICRYSTALS
Current Topics
Proceedings of the Spring School on Quasicrystals
Aussois, France 17 - 21 May 1999
edited by Esther Belin-Ferré, Claire Berger, Marianne Quiquandon (CNRS, France) & Anne Sadoc (Université Cergy-Pontoise, France)
This book focuses on current topics in quasicrystal science and research. Various themes are addressed, such as atomic structure, growth of quasicrystals, statistical physics and thermodynamics, magnetism, phasons, propagation of waves, surfaces and technological potential of quasicrystals. Insight into basics in physics and chemistry is also given, with examples from metallurgy, the surface of alloys, plasticity, etc., in order to point out the possible genuine aspects of quasicrystals and allow a better comparison with conventional alloys.
Contents:
- Structure of Quasicrystals
- Thermodynamics Properties, Metallurgical
Studies and Growth
- Surfaces
- Mechanical Properties, Physical Properties
- Technological Potential of Quasicrystals
Readership: Graduate students and researchers in solid state physics and
materials science.
