Sólidos icosaédricos: ¿una nueva fase de la materia?
Resumen
Las aleaciones metálicas con simetría icosaédrica desafían la cristalografía tradicional, sugiriendo una nueva fase de cuasicristal. Los defectos en estas estructuras se identifican como cepas de fase, cruciales para comprender su formación durante la solidificación.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Ciencia de los materiales Ciencia de los materiales.
- Física del estado sólido Física del estado sólido
- La cristalografía es una técnica de cristalografía.
Sus antecedentes:
- Las aleaciones metálicas que exhiben simetría icosaédrica no son explicables por las estructuras cristalinas periódicas convencionales.
- Descubrimientos recientes sugieren que estas aleaciones representan una nueva fase "cuasicristalina" de la materia.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para investigar la naturaleza de las desviaciones de las estructuras ideales de cuasicristal.
- Para explicar las imperfecciones observadas en los materiales cuasicristalinos.
Principales métodos:
- Análisis experimental de aleaciones metálicas con simetría icosaédrica.
- Modelado teórico de las estructuras de defectos en cuasicristales.
Principales resultados:

Structures of Solids
Solids in which the atoms, ions, or molecules are arranged in a definite repeating pattern are known as crystalline solids. Metals and ionic compounds typically form ordered, crystalline solids. A crystalline solid has a precise melting temperature because each atom or molecule of the same type is held in place with the same forces or energy. Amorphous solids or non-crystalline solids (or, sometimes, glasses) which lack an ordered internal structure and are randomly arranged. Substances that...
Metallic Solids
Metallic solids such as crystals of copper, aluminum, and iron are formed by metal atoms. The structure of metallic crystals is often described as a uniform distribution of atomic nuclei within a “sea” of delocalized electrons. The atoms within such a metallic solid are held together by a unique force known as metallic bonding that gives rise to many useful and varied bulk properties.
All metallic solids exhibit high thermal and electrical conductivity, metallic luster, and malleability. Many...

Ionic Crystal Structures
Ionic crystals consist of two or more different kinds of ions that usually have different sizes. The packing of these ions into a crystal structure is more complex than the packing of metal atoms that are the same size.
Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...

Molecular and Ionic Solids
Crystalline solids are divided into four types: molecular, ionic, metallic, and covalent network based on the type of constituent units and their interparticle interactions.
Molecular Solids
Molecular crystalline solids, such as ice, sucrose (table sugar), and iodine, are solids that are composed of neutral molecules as their constituent units. These molecules are held together by weak intermolecular forces such as London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions, or hydrogen bonds, which...

Solid–Solid Solutions
The temperature-composition phase diagram of two solids, A and B, which are immiscible in the solid phase but form miscible liquids, shows that when the temperature is low, these two exist as separate, pure solids (A and B). As the temperature increases, they transition into a single-phase liquid solution where A and B coexist. Moving from point a1 to a2 in the phase diagram, the composition changes such that solid B begins to separate from the solution, enriching the remaining liquid with A.
States of Matter
Solids, liquids, and gases are the three states of matter commonly found on Earth. A solid is rigid and possesses a definite shape. A liquid flows and takes the shape of its container, except it forms a flat or slightly curved upper surface when acted upon by gravity. Both liquid and solid samples have volumes nearly independent of pressure. A gas takes both the shape and volume of its container.
