Order to disorder in quasiperiodic composites

Moiré patterns and ordered aperiodic geometries have received significant attention since their observation in twisted bilayer graphene and quasicrystalline alloys. Here, the authors theoretically demonstrate that the same patterns can govern localization in quasiperiodic metal-dielectric composites...

description Moiré patterns and ordered aperiodic geometries have received significant attention since their observation in twisted bilayer graphene and quasicrystalline alloys. Here, the authors theoretically demonstrate that the same patterns can govern localization in quasiperiodic metal-dielectric composites and can be used to engineer the resultant optical and transport properties.
