Quasicrystals, networks and molecules of fivefold symmetry

More about the book

Fundamental phenomena and laws of nature are related to symmetry and, accordingly, symmetry is one of science's basic concepts. Istvan Hargittai has written and edited extensively on the question of symmetry in chemistry, and he has here assembled some very interesting papers which deal with the question of symmetry as it relates to quasi-crystals, networks and their relationships within a fivefold symmetrical context.
