![](/common/images/spacer.gif) Nonperiodic tilings exhibit a remarkable range of "order types" between periodic and amorphous. The six tilings shown on these pages are a representative sample. How can we characterize these states, and how are they reflected in various measures of order, such as diffraction images? The answers to these questions--which are still wide open--may have applications to contemporary crystallography.
