Abstract

<p>Quasicrystals are a form of matter having a peculiar type of order, where the structure cannot be described simply by the repetition of a unit cell like conventional crystals. This fact raises the question of how quasicrystals can grow, i.e., how the atoms can arrange themselves to construct such a peculiar order. In this article, we review this problem and present our recent study of an in-situ observation of the growth process of a quasicrystal by high-temperature high-resolution transmission electron microscopy.</p>
