Summary:

This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date review of quasicrystals. The contributions cover the broad range of this outstanding class of materials among intermetallic alloys: Starting from Metallurgy and Characterization, the authors carry on with structure and mathematical modelling. On this basis electronic, magnetic, thermal, dynamic and mechanical properties are dealt with, delivering finally an insight into surfaces and thin Films. Most recent results including interesting new structures of the solid state are presented. The authors belong to a research programme on Quasicrystals, sponsored by the German Research Society and managed by Hans-Rainer Trebin.
