Do turbulent crystals exist?

Abstract: We discuss the possibility that, besides periodic and quasiperiodic crystals, there exist turbulent crystals as thermodynamic equilibrium states at non-zero temperature. Turbulent crystals would not be invariant under translation, but would differ from other crystals by the fuzziness of some diffraction peaks. Turbulent crystals could appear by breakdown of long range order in quasiperiodic crystals with two independent modulations.
