Quasiperiodic Crystals: Teaching Aperiodicity of a Crystal Lattice with 3D-Printed Penrose Tiles / S. Rossi, C. Rossi, N. Accorigi. - In: JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL EDUCATION. - ISSN 0021-9584. - 97:5(2020 May 12), pp. 1391-1395.
Abstract:
In this paper, a teaching approach for the comprehension of the symmetry properties of an aperiodic crystal structure was described. Building a continuous-fill (quasi)crystalline pattern with the support of 3D-printed Penrose tiles, students can grasp the lack of translational symmetry typical of an aperiodic crystal.
