Abstract

Quasicrystals uncovered in aluminium alloys are still a matter of intense research regarding their structure which does not obey the rules of classical crystallography. Today, they also offer a new challenge in relation with their specific electronic properties and surprising mechanical behaviour. These properties are summarized in this review in the light of some structural data. The technological relevance of these results is briefly advocated.
