Tutorial
Information
On Sunday, May
22 from 1:30 - 3:30 pm, Professor Walter Steurer from the
University of Zürich,
presented a tutorial entitled "Quasicrystals - The Crystallographer's
Point of View".

What do we want to know about
the structure of quasicrystals? Is there any difference in the
structural information a crystallographer is interested in, a
mathematician, a chemist, a physicist or a materials scientist?
Yes, there is. It depends on what you are going to do with this
information. You have to base your quantum mechanical calculations
on a realistic structure model otherwise your results will never
describe and explain stability and physics of real quasicrystals.
There is no need for a detailed description of order and disorder
on a quasilattice if you just want to explore the mathematics
of quasiperiodic tilings and coverings. Neither Schönflies
nor Fedorov knew a single crystal structure when they derived
the 230 3D space groups. Structure analysis is the core business
of crystallographers. The determination of periodic structures,
even large virus structures, has become more or less routine.
The same is true for incommensurately modulated or composite
structures while quasicrystals are still stubborn. Thanks to
approximants, the local structure of quasicrystals is quite well
known now. The kind of long-range order present in real quasicrystals
and the role disorder plays for their stabilization is still
far from being satisfactorily known and understood.
The following points were addressed
in the tutorial:
- What does it mean to know and understand a
(quasi)crystal structure?
- From simple to complex crystal structures.
- Particularities of quasicrystal structures.
- How to determine quasicrystal structures.
Limits, pitfalls and potentialities of
- Diffraction methods.
- Imaging methods.
- Spectroscopic methods.
- Where are we now and how far will we
be at ICQ-10?
- The best(?) models.
- Can we do better?

Special Sessions
Vignettes
of the Past and the Future |
On Sunday, May 22 from 4
pm until 5:30 pm, Drs. Dan Shechtman, Denis Gratias, Alan
Goldman and Jean Marie Dubois will lead a special session
on the discovery, some history you may not have heard, and
what the future holds for the field, respectively. This is
sure to be an interesting session so please plan to attend. |
Special
Discussion Session |
Stabilization of Quasicrystals
There will be a two-hour discussion on "Stabilization of
Quasicrystals," in the late afternoon of Wednesday, 25 May.
This is a broad topic with many divergent, but interconnected,
viewpoints represented within the research community. The
broad goal of the session is to air and summarize these viewpoints.
The following specific topics will be covered:
thermodynamics
cluster stability
role of defects and disorder, including vacancies and phasons
Any and all ICQ9 attendees can contribute
to this discussion. It will be guided by three leaders: Walter
Steurer, Marc de Boissieu, and Chris
Henley. Each leader will be putting together a paper to
form the basis for the discussion. We strongly encourage
you to download them in advance:
Stable Clusters in Quasicrystals
- Fact or Fiction? by Walter Steurer
Stability of Quasicrystals:
Energy, Entropy, and Phason Modes by Marc de Boissieu
The work of the session will be to: (i) define common terminology;
(ii) describe any consensus that might emerge within the group;
(iii) define the open problems, and (iv) describe needs for specific
experiments or calculations.
The discussion will be summarized as part of the Conference Proceedings,
published in Philosophical Magazine. |
