Abstract: Electrons in a quasicrystal cannot flow as freely as they do in normal metallic crystals because of its nonperiodic structure. It turns out that in a decagonal quasicrystal the electronic behaviour reflects the tenfold symmetry of the crystal structure. Patricia A. Thiel and Jean Marie Dubois
