Incommensurate Crystals, Liquid Crystals, and Quasi-Crystals [E-Book] / edited by J. F. Scott, N. A. Clark.
In this NATO-sponsored Advanced Research Workshop we succeeded in bringing together approximately forty scientists working in the three main areas of structurally incommensurate materials: incommensurate crystals (primarily ferroelectric insulators), incommensurate liquid crystals, and metallic quas...
