Quasicrystalline Order in Soft Matter Systems

Abstract Since their groundbreaking discovery in Al–Mn alloys, quasicrystals have attracted considerable interest due to their unique structural characteristics and promising applications. These structures challenge traditional crystallographic concepts by exhibiting long-range o...

Site-Selective Fe Incorporation in Layered Polar α-In2Se3: Crystal-Chemical Control of Localized Spin States and Ferroic Responses

Abstract Site-selective transition-metal incorporation provides a crystal-chemical route for tuning local bonding, spin states, and ferroic responses in layered inorganic chalcogenides. Here, Fe-incorporated α-In2Se3 is investigated to clarify how Fe site preference and spatial d...

Mixed-Connectivity GeS4 Framework for Wavelength-Dependent Linear Dichroism in Layered GeS2

Abstract Polyhedral connectivity offers a crystal-chemical route for understanding anisotropic properties in low-symmetry solids. Here, layered monoclinic GeS2 is investigated as a mixed-connectivity tetrahedral system composed of corner-sharing Ge−S−Ge bridges and edge-sharing G...

Hierarchical Hybrid Assembly: Programming Structural Complexity in Crystalline Materials

Abstract The design of crystalline materials has evolved from the construction of periodic frameworks toward increasingly complex architectures featuring ordered heterogeneity and emergent functions. Despite substantial progress in hybrid crystalline materials, a general framewor...
