Neutron Investigation of Modulated Structures

  • Chapter
Modulated Structure Materials

Part of the book series: Nato ASI Series ((NSSE,volume 83))

  • 184 Accesses

Abstract

Incommensurably-modulated solids are often described (1) as long-range ordered structures which lack translational symmetry due to the superposition within the same system of several mutually incompatible periodicities. As such IC solids provide an intermediate step between the ordinary crystalline state and the disordered non-periodic amorphous state.

Reprinted from “Multicritical Phenomena” Plenum NATO-ASI Series B (Physics) (Plenum New York 1983) Ed. R. Pynn and A.T. Skjeltorp.
