However, quasicrystalline structures have more spherical effective Brillouin zones and are thus more isotropic than periodic lattices. Another advantage is that quasicrystal structures are better ...
For more than 100 years, scientists have been using X-ray crystallography to determine the structure of crystalline materials such as metals, rocks, and ceramics. This technique works best when ...
The two-dimensional Bose glass state of matter is realized experimentally using ultracold atoms in an eight-fold symmetric quasicrystalline optical lattice, and the phase transition between Bose ...
