Discovery of antiferromagnetism in icosahedral quasicrystals opens up a new field of research on quasi periodic antiferromagnets

On April 14th, in a groundbreaking study, an international research team led by Tokyo University of Science in Japan discovered antiferromagnetism in real quasicrystals. This is the first experimental evidence discovered by scientists since the first report of antiferromagnetism in periodic crystals in 1949, showing that antiferromagnetism can also occur in icosahedral quasicrystals (iQC). The related paper was published on the 11th in the journal Nature Physics.
