Geometrical frustration

by J. F. Sadoc

"This book shows how the concept of geometrical trustration can be used to elucidate the structure and properties of non-periodic materials such as metallic glasses, quasicrystals, amorphous semiconductors and complex liquid crystals." "This book will be of interest to researchers in condensed matter physics, materials science and structural chemistry, as well as mathematics and structural biology."--Jacket.
