MLU physicists solve mystery of two-dimensional quasicrystal formation from metal oxides
Halle, Germany (SPX) Jan 27, 2023
The structure of two-dimensional titanium oxide brakes-up at high temperatures by adding barium; instead of regular hexagons, rings of four, seven and ten atoms are created that order aperiodically. A team at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) made this discovery in colaboration with researchers from the Max Planck Institute (MPI) for Microstructure Physics, the Universite Grenoble
