Title Incommensurate Crystals, Liquid Crystals, and Quasi-Crystals Author(s) Scott, J.F;Clark, N.A Publication New York, NY, Springer US, 1987. Description X, 368 p. 37 illus : online resource Abstract Note In this NATO-sponsored Advanced Research Workshop we succeeded in bringing together approximately forty scientists working in the three main areas of structurally incommensurate materials: incommensurate crystals (primarily ferroelectric insulators), incommensurate liquid crystals, and metallic quasi-crystals. Although these three classes of materials are quite distinct, the commonality of the physics of the origin and descrip?? tion of these incommensurate structures is striking and evident in these proceedings. A measure of the success of this conference was the degree to which interaction among the three subgroups occurred; this was facili?? tated by approximately equal amounts of theory and experiment in the papers presented. We thank the University of Colorado for providing pleasant housing and conference facilities at a modest cost, and we are especially grate?? ful to Ann Underwood, who retyped all the manuscripts into camera-ready form.
