Quasicrystals: A New Class of Ordered Structures
Quasicrystals: A New Class of Ordered Structures is a scholarly work by Paul Steinhardt and Dov Levine, published in 1984 in ''Physical Review Letters''. The main subjects of the publication include materials science, powder diffraction, ideal, symmetry, crystallography, quasicrystal, quasiperiodic function, homogeneous space, icosahedral symmetry, diffraction, rotation, Crystal, translational symmetry, condensed matter physics, theoretical physics, and physics. The authors classify two- and three-dimensional quasicrystals by their symmetry under rotation and show that many disallowed crystal symmetries are allowed quasicrystal symmetries.
