摘要
Phasons are a type of excitation peculiar to quasicrystals and other incommensurate phases arising as a consequence of their spatial quasiperiodicity. Phason-related excitations are also observed in complex crystal structures known as approximants. This article briefly reviews the concepts of phasons with focus on current issues in their regard. We examine both continuum (hydrodynamic) and discrete (tiling) descriptions of phasons and review the state of experimental validation of the basic theoretical notions.
