Periodic configurations have dominated the design of phononic and elastic-acoustic metamaterial structures for the past decades. Unlike periodic crystals, quasicrystals lack translational symmetry but are unrestricted in rotational…
A fractal approach to numerical analysis of electromagnetic space-time crystals, created by three standing plane harmonic waves with mutually orthogonal phase planes and the same frequency, is presented. Finite models of electromagnetic…
Crystals and quasicrystals can be characterized by an order that is a purely geometric property of an instantaneous configuration, independent of particle dynamics or interactions. Glasses, on the other hand, are ostensibly amorphous…
Quasicrystals are solid structures with symmetry forbidden by crystallographic rules. Because of this some structural characteristics of quasicrystals, for instance, radial distribution function, can look similar to the ones of amorphous…
With the rapid development of topological states in crystals, the study of topological states has been extended to quasicrystals in recent years. In this review, we summarize the recent progress of topological states in quasicrystals,…
A new kind of aperiodic tiling is introduced. It is shown to underlie a structure obtained as a superposition of waves with incommensurate periods. Its connections to other other tilings and quasicrystals are discussed.
The shelling of crystals is concerned with counting the number of atoms on spherical shells of a given radius and a fixed centre. Its straight-forward generalization to quasicrystals, the so-called central shelling, leads to non-universal…
Quasicrystals are fascinating structures, characterized by strong positional order but lacking the periodicity of a crystal. In colloidal systems, quasicrystals are typically predicted for particles with complex or highly specific…

The theory of magnetic symmetry in quasicrystals is used to characterize the nature of magnetic peaks, expected in elastic neutron diffraction experiments. It is established that there is no symmetry-based argument which forbids the…
Every set $\Lambda\subset R$ such that the sum of $\delta$-measures sitting at the points of $\Lambda$ is a Fourier quasicrystal, is the zero set of an exponential polynomial with imaginary frequencies.
We introduce a construction to embed a quasiperiodic lattice of obstacles into a single unit cell of a higher-dimensional space, with periodic boundary conditions. This construction transparently shows the existence of channels in these…
The relation of s-convexity and sets modeling physical quasicrystals is explained for quasicrystals related to quadratic unitary Pisot numbers. We show that 1-dimensional model sets may be characterized by s-convexity for finite set of…
For a three dimensional system we answer two questions, how simple a particle system might be to show the quasicrystal order and, what system features are the most important for quasicrystal formation? One-component system of particles with…
This article reports the spherical coordinate form of three-dimensional generalized dynamics of soft-matter quasicrystals with 12-fold symmetry which provides a basis for solving initial-boundary value problems of the equations under some…
Crystal graphs are powerful combinatorial tools for working with the plactic monoid and symmetric functions. Quasi-crystal graphs are an analogous concept for the hypoplactic monoid and quasi-symmetric functions. This paper makes a…
The theory of magnetic symmetry in quasicrystals, described in a companion paper [cond-mat/0304669], is used to enumerate all 3-dimensional octagonal spin point groups and spin space-group types, and calculate the resulting selection rules…
The paper deals with the semi-Dirac operator in a half-space arising in the description of quasiparticles in quantum mechanics as well as in semi-metals materials and related structures. It completely shows the self-adjointness, computes…
Essential properties of semiclassical approximation for quantum mechanics are viewed as axioms of an abstract semiclassical mechanics. Its symmetry properties are discussed. Semiclassical systems being invariant under Lie groups are…
Between space crystals and amorphous materials there exists a third class of aperiodic structures which lack translational symmetry but reveal long-range order. They are dubbed quasi-crystals and their formation, similarly as the formation…
