Clay Mineral Structures: The Beauty of Symmetry and the Enigma of Quasicrystals

摘要

A rare honour is bestowed on a chosen few who are privileged to deliver the Foundation Lecture of any Society. However, getting the opportunity to deliver the first Foundation Lecture is an honour of life time. I am most grateful to you all. Late Professor S.K. Mukherjee, Founder President of the Clay Minerals Society of India, was my teacher, mentor, doctoral research guide and much more.
