About the Authors

Takeo Fujiwara has been working on quasicrystals since soon after the discovery of quasicrystals and contributing to developing new ideas on quasicrystals: TF are working on mainly electronic structures of quasiperiodic systems and real quasicrystalline materials and YI are working on “phason”-related instability of quasicrystals as well as electronic structures.

Yasushi Ishii has been working on quasicrystals since soon after the discovery of quasicrystals and contributing to developing new ideas on quasicrystals: TF are working on mainly electronic structures of quasiperiodic systems and real quasicrystalline materials and YI are working on “phason”-related instability of quasicrystals as well as electronic structures.
