The electronic properties of a large number of icosahedral-crystal systems have been
studied experimentally. These systems include alloys of the simple metals and those that …

The importance of total scattering and its Fourier transform, the pair distribution function, in
crystallography was understood soon after it was shown that crystals diffract X-rays …

Since their discovery in 1984, several thousand papers have been published dealing with
various aspects of quasicrystals. Despite this flurry of activity, questions concerning the …

A new model of the geometrical structure of icosahedral quasicrystals is discussed that is
based on icosahedral clusters connected by linkages (consistent with currently accepted …

抄録 Recent advances in the methods of structural analysis, in particular the use of particle
accellerators to produce pulsed neutrons and synchrotron radiation, have greatly improved …

The aim of the present article is to give a review of the state-ofthe-art on quasicrystal
structure analysis. After a short discussion of the term" crystal" in chapter 1, the geometrical …

Research into the atomic structures of metal materials in the liquid state, their dynamic
evolution versus temperature until the onset of crystal nucleation has been a central …

Quasicrystals were discovered in 1984. They display medium to long range atomic order
while lacking the periodicity of crystals. Quasicrystalline materials, their production …

Intermetallic compounds with compositions in the vicinity of Al0· 6 (Cu, Zn),(Li, Mg) 0· 3,
namely the so-called R, Z, C and τ phases, have been selected for structural studies …

The atomic positional correlations in superconducting Tl 2 Ba 2 Ca Cu 2 O 8 were studied by
pair-distribution-function analysis of the pulsed-neutron scattering data. The results show for …
