Abstract

A comprehensive review is given on experimental studies of small particles with fivefold symmetry accompanied by an in-depth theoretical description of their characteristics and computer modeling. The cases of uniform and nonuniform deformations (disclination model), stability and relaxation of elastic stresses in pentagonal particles and needle-like crystals, models of their formation are discussed.
