Welcome
to the website of the 9th International Conference on Quasicrystals!
The
9th International Conference on Quasicrystals carries on
a tradition of excellence bringing together the best scientists
in the world to talk about quasicrystals. At the 9th meeting
in this series, we are pleased to extend a special welcome
to scientists working in the broader area of complex
metallic alloys. Abstracts are invited in all areas
of study including (but not limited to) Transport and Dynamical
Properties, Surfaces and Thin Films, Synthesis, Structure,
