Quasi-periodic structures

Quasi-periodic structures are arrangements that display an ordered pattern without repeating exactly like traditional crystals. Unlike periodic patterns that repeat regularly, quasi-periodic patterns have a form of order with multiple repeating motifs that never repeat perfectly, creating a complex, non-repetitive design. This unique organization results in distinctive physical properties and aesthetic qualities, as seen in certain materials like quasicrystals. Quasi-periodicity bridges the gap between perfect periodicity and complete randomness, producing structures that are both highly ordered and irregular.
