SEMICONDUCTING PROPERTIES OF QUASICRYSTALS WITH UNIQUE SYMMETRY AND THEIR APPLICATIONS IN PHOTONIC DEVICES

 Quasicrystals, distinguished by their non-periodic but ordered atomic structures and unique rotational symmetries, have attracted increasing attention in the field of advanced materials. Unlike conventional crystals, quasicrystals exhibit forbidden symmetries—such as fivefold or tenfold rotation—that result in novel electronic and optical behaviors. This paper explores the semiconducting characteristics of quasicrystalline materials and evaluates their potential use in photonic devices. By investigating the electronic band structures and optical properties arising from quasiperiodicity, we demonstrate how these materials can be engineered for enhanced light-matter interactions, photon localization, and spectral filtering. The integration of quasicrystalline semiconductors into photonic circuits, sensors, and solar cells reveals promising pathways for next-generation optoelectronic technologies.
