Quantum interferences in quasicrystals

Abstract

Contributions of quantum interference effects occuring in quasicrystals are emphasized. First conversely to metallic systems, quasiperiodic ones are shown to enclose original alterations of their conductive properties while downgrading long range order. Besides, origins of localization mechanisms are outlined within the context of the original metal-insulator transition (MIT) found in these materials.
