Lattice Structures, Diffraction and Scattering by Crystals, Quasi-Crystals and Paracrystals: From Symmetry Groups to Groupoids
نویسنده
چکیده
Novel approaches to paracrystalline nanostructures, quasicrystalline nanoclusters, and dynamics are outlined in terms of a generalized paracrystal theory (GPT) of scattering and diffraction that includes single nanoclusters as well. Several examples are presented together with original experimental data for oneto threedimensional paracrystalline and quasi-crystalline lattices, with the latter being considered as a particular case of paracrystals.

Influence of optical Kerr coefficient on photonic band structures of hexagonal-lattice function photonic crystals
In this paper, we have studied the photonic band structure of function photonic crystals in which the dielectric constant of the scattering centers (rods) is a function of space coordinates. The under-studied lattice is hexagonal and cross section of rods has a circular symmetry embedded in the air background. Photonic band structures for both electric and magnetic polarizations of the electrom...
متن کاملNew Method for Synthesis of Zinc Metaborate Zn4B6O13 Crystals via Sol-Gel Process and Investigation of DFT Calculations
In this work facile sol-gel (pechni) method has been successfully established to synthesize Zn4B6O13 nanocrystals which have cubic crystals with lattice parameter: a =7.48 A. The structure and morphology of the obtained material were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Infrared spectra (IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and photoluminescence analysis. The experimental results show a band ...
متن کاملQuantum Symmetries, Operator Algebra and Quantum Groupoid Representations: Paracrystalline Systems, Topological Order, Supersymmetry and Global Symmetry Breaking
Novel approaches to extended quantum symmetry, paracrystals, quasicrystals, noncrystalline solids, topological order, supersymmetry and spontaneous, global symmetry breaking are outlined in terms of quantum groupoid, quantum double groupoids and dual, quantum algebroid structures. Physical applications of such quantum groupoid and quantum algebroid representations to quasicrystalline structures...

متن کاملGroup 1: New Approaches to Crystals and Analysis of Their Structures
Despite the intrinsic difference from the point of view of structure of various types of crystals, such as commensurate, incommensurately modulated, intergrowth crystals and quasicrystals, a common approach to their symmetry seems to be possible which eventually will lead to a more comprehensive crystallography. The unifying elements become apparent through treatments which, at first, seem to b...
