icosikaitetragonal
Icosikaitetragonal is a term used in crystallography to describe a crystal system characterized by a combination of icosahedral and tetragonal symmetries. This unique crystal system is relatively rare and is often found in certain types of quasicrystals, which are a class of solids that exhibit long-range orientational order but lack translational periodicity.
The term "icosikaitetragonal" is derived from the Greek words "icosi," meaning twenty, and "kai," meaning and,
Crystals in the icosikaitetragonal system are known for their complex and intricate structures, often exhibiting fivefold
One of the most well-known examples of an icosikaitetragonal crystal is the icosahedral quasicrystal, which was
