Exploring high-symmetry structures in non-Cartesian coordinates: preparation and characteristics of cylindrically symmetric-rotating crystals
Since their discovery in 1981, quasicrystals have challenged traditional crystallography, showcasing the diversity of material structures. Quasicrystals are ordered structures in higher-dimensional Cartesian coordinate systems projected into lower dimensions. This paper reports a new crystallization growth mode in InSiO thin films, exhibiting high symmetry in spherical and cylindrical coordinate systems, named cylindrical symmetric rotating crystals (CSRC). These crystals show rotational symmetry in their lattice structure, consistent with cylindrical symmetry.
