Computer simulation studies of phason-phonon coupling in two-dimensional quasicrystals /

The discovery of an alloy in the mid-1980's that possessed non-crystallographic symmetry opened the door for a wealth of experimental and theoretical studies of this new class of materials. It was quickly named a quasicrystal" because of its crystal-like diffraction pattern which exhibit...
