Quasicrystals: A Primer (Monographs on the Physics and Chemistry of Materials),Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
In 1984, physicists discovered a totally unexpected form of mattera structure that appeared to contain fivefold symmetry axes, which cannot exist in strictly periodic structuresthat became known as quasicrystals. In an effort to understand these structures, a theory that employed higher dimensional space groups was conceived, enabling the creation of new alloy phases that exhibited the properties expected from this model. Now in its second edition, Quasicrystals: A Primer offers an uptodate and accessible introduction to the subject for students approaching it for the first time. Providing lively treatments of a range of practical, experimental, and theoretical topics, the book has been completely updated to reflect the latest advances in quasicrystal research and application. Helpful problem sets and a computer program that generates a Penrose lattice are included as well. Students and researchers in materials science, crystallography, and condensed matter physics will welcome this new edition of a trustworthy, userfriendly survey of an important topic in crystallography.
