• W1993714369 abstract "I learned of Danny Shechtman’s Nobel Prize at 6:30 am on Wednesday, October 5 of 2011. I was listening to the radio as I prepared to go to work. The joy, astonishment, and pride I felt were almost indescribable, and many others in the quasicrystal research community felt the same way. These feelings were also shared by my colleagues at the Ames Laboratory and Iowa State University, where Danny has a part-time appointment and spends four months a year, with an office just down the hall from mine. About 6 hours after the announcement, I received an email from Ehud Keinan, Editor of the Israel Journal of Chemistry, inviting me to assemble a special issue in Danny’s honor. Of course I accepted, but without quite realizing that he wanted the issue to be printed within two months—in time for the Nobel Prize Ceremony in Stockholm—a deadline that would be almost impossible to meet. In order for it to be printed within two months, authors would have to submit their articles within just a few weeks. Nevertheless, I quickly passed the challenge on to a representative set of prominent scientists in the community, because everything would hinge on the people writing the articles. Were they willing to attempt the impossible — to submit a high-quality paper to this journal within less than 3 weeks, as tribute to Danny’s Nobel Prize? I held my breath. The response was magnificent. Very few people declined the invitation. Moreover, those who committed to write a paper delivered on their commitment. Almost every author met the October 26 deadline, and many submitted their papers even earlier. I am sure that everyone had to make sacrifices to do this. I know that one author canceled travel plans, which included giving plenary lectures at two conferences. Another author wrote the paper while he was supposedly on vacation. Yet another had to find a way around an electrical outage caused by an early blizzard. Clearly, the happy excitement of the Nobel Prize carried us all along like a tidal wave. Not only did the authors deliver papers on time, they delivered papers of a very high caliber. This was shown by the comments of the referees, who themselves did a remarkable job of evaluating the papers quickly, but thoroughly and insightfully. This issue, and the hard work of everyone involved, is a tribute and a gift to Danny. As it turned out, the issue was printed somewhat after the Nobel Ceremony. Nonetheless, as a symbolic gesture, the cover and a list of articles and authors were presented to Danny during the week of the Nobel Prize ceremonies (Figure 1). Special presentation to Prof. Daniel Shechtman on behalf of Israel Journal of Chemistry, by Guest Editor Patricia A. Thiel on the eve of the Nobel Prize Ceremony. This issue is also a tribute to the community of scientists whose work has been stimulated by his discovery. That discovery sparked new research in areas that span a remarkable variety of disciplines, including pure mathematics, materials science and engineering, chemistry, physics, and surface science — most of which are represented by the articles in this journal. A highly interdisciplinary and international community sprang up, united not only by its common interest but also by the more tangible markers of a distinct scientific field, such as regular dedicated conferences — the International Conference on Quasicrystals (ICQ), and the Asian International Workshop on Quasicrystals (AIWQ); and a specific prize — the Jean Marie Dubois Award for Excellence in Quasicrystal Research. Danny described this community shortly after the Nobel Prize was announced, in this generous statement: I am the spearhead of the science of quasicrystals, but without the thousands of enthusiastic scientists around the globe, quasicrystals would not be what they are today. Quasicrystals are still an enigma in many ways, waiting to unfold, and I admire the researchers who over the years became friends and who for a quarter of a century have elucidated this science. From my own perspective, this scientific community has gone through three main phases, illustrated by certain articles in this issue. In the first phase (the 1980 s), interest was stimulated by controversy. The driving question could be phrased (somewhat simplistically) as “What are quasicrystals?” In this volume, the papers by Hargittai, Senechal, and Lifshitz address this period and question very well. The second phase (roughly the 1990 s) was driven by interest in the physical properties (whose measurement was facilitated greatly by the discovery of thermodynamically stable phases and the ability to grow single grains) and possible applications of quasicrystals. The authors Dubois, Kim, and Mukhopadhyay address this motivation from particularly knowledgable viewpoints. In these first two phases, the community mainly focused on quasiperiodic alloys and intermetallics. The third and most recent phase (roughly the 2000 s) has been marked by diversification into new but strongly related topics, such as quasiperiodic polymers, quasiperiodic nanocomposites, guided materials discovery, photonic and phononic systems, and complex — but crystalline — metallic alloys. Articles by Dotera, Ungar et al., Ishimasa, Chen et al., and Ormeci and Grin illustrate this expansion. In all three of these phases, much excellent basic research has been carried out on a wide variety of topics, as can be seen from all the papers. Finally, special thanks go to the following scientists for helping to prepare the issue on very short notice and in spite of very busy schedules: Iver Anderson, Scott Beckman, Alan Goldman, Bruce Harmon, Cynthia Jenks, Alex King, Richard LeSar, Qisheng Lin, Thomas Lograsso, Gordon Miller, Ralph Napolitano, Vitalij Pecharsky, David Rabson, Pratik Ray, and Clayton Swenson. At Wiley-VCH, Elcya Weiss worked very hard to assemble this issue and deserves a special thank you.1 Patricia A.
