Beyond quasicrystals : Les Houches, March 7-18, 1994

The topic of this book is the nature of geometric order in solids beyond standard periodicity and quasiperiodicity. Its overall structure reflects the wish of the editors to pose this fundamental question from both the experimental and theoretical point of view. The first part is book is devoted more specifically to quasicrystals. The second part deals with deterministic aperiodic order "beyond" quasiperiodicity, as generated by automatic and substitutive sequences. This pedagogically written topical volume can be seen by experimentalists as a manual on the theoretical background of their work.
