Photonic crystals, amorphous materials, and quasicrystals
Photonic crystals consist of artificial periodic structures of dielectrics, which have attracted much attention because of their wide range of potential applications in the field of optics. We may also fabricate artificial amorphous or quasicrystalline structures of dielectrics, i.e. photonic amorphous materials or photonic quasicrystals. So far, both theoretical and experimental studies have b...
متن کاملPhysical symmetry of quasicrystals
The possibility of a physical rotational symmetry for a quasicrystal is discussed and the minimal tensorial rank which is necessary to detect such a symmetry is shown to be simply related to the order of a symmetry rotation. For icosahedral symmetry, in particular, the minimal rank is 5 which means that "ordinary" linear (i.e. first order) behaviour (in the termal, electromagnetic, déformation ...
متن کاملSymmetry of Magnetically Ordered Quasicrystals
The notion of magnetic symmetry is reexamined in light of the recent observation of long-range magnetic order in icosahedral quasicrystals [Charrier et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 78, 4637 (1997)]. The relation between the symmetry of a magnetically ordered (periodic or quasiperiodic) crystal, given in terms of a “spin space group,” and its neutron diffraction diagram is established. In doing so, an ...
متن کاملAsymmetry, Symmetry and Beauty
Asymmetry and symmetry coexist in natural and human processes. The vital role of symmetry in art has been well demonstrated. This article highlights the complementary role of asymmetry. Further we show that the interaction of asymmetric action (recursion) and symmetric opposition (sinusoidal waves) are instrumental in generating creative features (relatively low entropy, temporal complexity, no...
متن کاملA Discussion on Concept of Symmetry snd Asymmetry
This paper is concerned about the concept os asymmetry. The different types of asymmetry for univariate and multivariate distributions have introduces been considered as well as some of usual asymmetry criteria. A brief overview of method for adding the capability of modeling asymmetry to a symmetry distribution is also a secondary purpose of this paper.
