Geometrical Frustration

Zusammenfassung This book shows how using the concept of geometrical frustration elucidates the structure and properties of non-periodic materials including metals! amorphous solids! liquid crystals! amphiphiles! cholisteric systems! polymers! phospholipid membranes! atomic clusters! and quasicrystals. Appendices give all necessary background on geometry! symmetry and tilings. Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface; 1. Introduction to geometrical frustration; 2. Ideal models; 3. Finite structures; 4. Decurving and disclinations; 5. Hierarchical polytopes; 6. Some physical properties; 7. Periodic structures with large cells; 8. Quasiperiodic order and frustration; Appendices; Bibliography; Index.
