Quasicrystal

1984年までは、物質は原子が整然と並んだ結晶か、あるいはバラバラに配置したアモルファスかのいずれかに分類されると考えられてきました。しかしながSolids were conventionally classified into two categories, “crystal” in which atoms align regularly, and “amorphous” where atoms assemble irregularly. In 1984, however, discovery of the third form of solid, “quasicrystal”, has opened a new frontier of materials science. In Department of Physics, we are looking for new phenomena hidden in quasicrystals such as novel quantum criticality.
