What is recorded here?
Observed sharp diffraction and icosahedral orientational order in an aluminium–manganese alloy, incompatible with a periodic crystal lattice.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
1984 is the publication, following the 1982 observation. The experiment and subsequent mathematical models are distinct.
