The more precise mathematical definition is that there is never translational symmetry in more than n – 1 linearly independent directions, where n is the dimension of the space filled, e.g., the three-dimensional tiling displayed in a quasicrystal may have translational symmetry in two directions.
In mathematics, a Meyer set or almost lattice is a relatively dense set X of points in the Euclidean plane or a higher-dimensional Euclidean space such that its Minkowski difference with itself is uniformly discrete.
A type of quasiparticle that occurs only in two-dimensional systems, with properties much less restricted than fermions and bosons. Biexciton: A bound state of two free excitons: Bion: A bound state of solitons, named for Born–Infeld model: soliton Cooper pair: A bound pair of two electrons electron Bipolaron: A bound pair of two polarons

These additional symmetries do not allow a planar slice to have, say, 8-fold rotation symmetry. In the plane, the 2D restrictions still apply. Thus the cuts used to model quasicrystals necessarily have thickness. Integer matrices are not limited to rotations; for example, a reflection is also a symmetry of order 2.
Different phasonic modes can change the material properties of a quasicrystal. [3] In the superspace representation, aperiodic crystals can be obtained from a periodic crystal of higher dimension by projection to a lower dimensional space– this is commonly referred to as the cut-and-project method.
In 1987 Wang, Chen and Kuo announced the discovery of a quasicrystal with octagonal symmetry. [5] The decagonal covering of the Penrose tiling was proposed in 1996 and two years later Ben Abraham and Gähler proposed an octagonal variant for the Ammann–Beenker tiling. [6] Ammann's name became that of the perennial second.
