Unravelling Disorder in Aperiodic Crystals – Diffuse Scattering and Atomic Resolution Holography
Abstract The atomic‐scale disorder of aperiodic crystals, and quasicrystals in particular, is inherently difficult to explore by experimental methods due to their complex atomic arrangements. Two advanced characterization techniques, a revived and an emerging one, offer direct experimental access even to such complex atomic structures: Diffuse Scattering and Atomic Resolution Holography. In this overview, we introduce their specific application to aperiodic crystals and discuss their merits and difficulties.
