Abstract :
The electronic density of states (DOS) of 1D quasicrystals looks like that of a highly doped, p-type semiconductor: the Fermi level lies in the “impurity band”, which consists of localized states. At low temperatures, the conductivity of an electronic structure of this type is by variable-range hopping, as observed recently in i-Al–Pd–Re.
