Quasicrystal diffraction pattern

Click For Summary
Quasicrystal diffraction patterns differ from those of normal crystals primarily due to their lack of translational symmetry, while normal crystals exhibit both rotational and translational symmetry. X-ray diffraction can reveal peaks in both types, but the arrangement of these peaks will vary significantly. Resources for further information on this topic can be found in scientific literature and specialized materials science websites. Understanding these differences is crucial for applications in material science and condensed matter physics. The unique properties of quasicrystals continue to be a subject of research and interest.

hey all.

i was wondering what's the diffrance between quasicrystal diffraction pattern and normal crystals (single and multiple)..

where can i find some info about the diffrences?

thanks ,

The X ray diffraction pattern will show peaks for both quasi crystals and crystals due to rotational symmetry But quasi crystals do not posses translational symmetry and crystals do.
 

Thread 'Need to anneal 5052 aluminum'

I need to anneal 5052 aluminum for a home project. Google has given me mixed results on how to do this. Short version is that I'm doing some heavy forming on a piece of 5052-H32 and I'm running into issues with it work hardening. I've tried the Sharpie trick with a propane torch. But I'm not sure this is doing anything. I'm also seeing conflicting opinions whether to quench or air cool. So I'm looking for some expert opinions. (Oven heating is not an option due to size.) Thanks. edit: The...
