Self-similar porosity in quasicrystals

摘要

Single grains of real quasicrystals have been investigated using X-ray imaging techniques at a third-generation synchrotron radiation source (ESRF).facetted microholes have ben observed.The experimental results are discussed with reference to a description of the quasicrystal structure in terms of overlapping atomic clusters (self-similar packing or random covering modifications).Relations between holes and quasicrystal formaiton are also discussed.
