Opis

An excellent guide to the many facets and applications of aperiodic structures, this interdisciplinary book examines the role of aperiodic order in science and technology. It presents several aspects of various aperiodic systems, including physical and structural properties. The author illustrates how to properly study physical systems through useful mathematical approaches, such as quasiperiodic lattices, effective Hamiltonians, and transfer matrices. He also explores applications in multilayered optical systems, photonic and phononic quasicrystals, complex metallic alloys, and DNA-based devices.
