| Indeed, it appears that aluminum is unusually prone to quasicrystal formation, but there do exist icosahedral quasicrystals without it. |
|
| What Dr Shechtman had discovered, he realised, was a new sort of material called a quasicrystal. |
|
| The arrangement of atoms in a quasicrystal displays a property called long-range order, which is lacking in amorphous metals. |
|
| At low temperatures motion of atoms within the solid is difficult, and phason strain may be easily frozen into the quasicrystal, limiting its perfection. |
|
| Since a high-resolution electron microscope image of aluminum-manganese-silicon quasicrystal clearly reveals an axis of fivefold symmetry, it may be concluded that the arrangement of atoms lacks translational periodicity. |

|
| The only naturally occurring quasicrystal found to date may well have come from an asteroid. |

|
| We call this quasicrystal the Fibonacci modified icosagrid quasicrystal. |
|
| Quasicrystal structures are common in alloys in which aluminum is combined with another metal, such as iron, cobalt, or nickel. |
