I'm not a PhD in physics (my interest in quasi-crystals stem from having to consider their existence and their energies in some simulations), but I wouldn't think so. Not stable, anyway. Mathematically, yes, but atoms are on a dis

could you go a little more in depth about your setup? do you mean you add the sqlite library, load the file and then use sqlite to read/write data to a database instead of a text or bin file? I like it... I do simulations in physics an

Is VO_{2}, a metal oxide, really a metal? This actually annoys me a bit. Without knowings anything about it: it's a ceramic, almost certainly a semiconductor, and since its a semiconductor it can behave electronically like a metal unde

but, if anything, the opposite is true. If I keep dumping a constant amount of heat onto a material it will get hot enough to cool itself. So a piece of aluminum will be cooler than a piece of iron. The Al might transfer more heat to my fin

TL;DR: Crystals require translational symmetry, therefore, no, not in 3-D space. In 4-D you can have 5-fold symmetry, and a projection of these onto 3D space makes an arrangement with 5-fold symmetry which make quasi-crystals. My own experi
