Two-Level Electron Excitations and Distinctive Physical Properties of Al-Cu-Fe Quasicrystals

This article is not a review in the conventional sense. Rather, it is a monographic study of the implications of detection in Al-Cu-Fe quasicrystals of the electronic heat capacity contributions associated with the two-level electron excitations. Our aim was to reveal correlations between these cont...
