Symposium K
Quasicrystals
K2.7 Junqing Guo, Stable Icosahedral Quasicrystals
in the Cd-Based Alloys
Monday, 11:45AM-Room 203, Hynes
This work has been accepted for publication in Nature. The speaker
will describe his fantastic discovery of the first stable BINARY
quasicrystals. Until now, all stable phases contained three components,
and it was uniformly believed that three components might be
requisite for quasicrystallinity. Not only does this paper shatter
that myth, it also presents the discovery of a phase which is
VERY SIMPLE in a chemical sense,
and it paves the way for good, high-level theoretical treatments
of the electronic structure and stability of quasicrystals. Such
an advancement in theory has been lacking for many years because
known phases were too chemically complex for existing theory.
This work originates from the group that discovered all but one
of the know stable quasicrystalline alloys. It is world-renowned
for its extremely creative work.
K16.3* Valerie V. Sheares, High Performance
Quasicrystal-Reinforced Polymer Composites
Thursday, 2PM-Room 203, Hynes

origin of this effect is a mystery at present, but it is exciting
for its many possible applications in the arena of polymers.
The quasicrystals seem to have a different, and much better,
effect than any other metal or metal oxide filler. This work
was featured on the cover of the August DOE This Month.
K16.4 An-Pang Tsai, Quasicrystalline Catalyst

Diamond
Monday, 3:15PM-Room 311, Hynes

to successfully achieve boron doping of the material.
