Abstract

This chapter presents an aid to the characterization of aperiodic crystals based on information from diffraction experiments and gives a survey of aperiodic crystals from the viewpoint of the experimentally accessible reciprocal space. Characteristic features of the diffraction patterns of the different types of aperiodic crystals are shown. A standard way of determining the metrics and finding the optimum nD embedding is described. Structure-factor formulae for general and special cases are given. This chapter is also available as HTML from the International Tables Online site hosted by the IUCr.
