[Cover illustration] Cover illustration: One quadrant of each of four fibre diffraction patterns from disordered polynucleotide fibres. The patterns were calculated for fibres with disorder as follows. Upper left: crystalline (no disorder); upper right: noncrystalline (completely disordered); lower left: discrete rotational disorder and correlated lattice disorder; lower right: random screw disorder. See Stroud & Millane [Acta Cryst. (1996), A52, 812-829].

Indexing approximants of icosahedral quasicrystals

M. Quiquandon, A. Katz, F. Puyraimond and D. Gratias

Synopsis: A method is derived from indexing the diffraction patterns of approximant structures from the N-dimensional indexing of the parent quasicrystal. Examples are given for the case of the approximant of the icosahedral phases with special emphasis on the origin of the so-called `systematic accidental' extinctions observed in pentagonal phases.

Anisotropic dispersion of the band structure and formation of ring patterns in CBED

L.-M. Peng and J. M. Zuo

Synopsis: An off-axis ring pattern was observed in the <1\bar{1}1> zone-axis CBED pattern of NiO, and the pattern was interpreted using a two-Bloch-wave approximation.

Experimental determination of electric-field-induced differences in structure-factor phases of the order of 2%

J. Stahn, A. Pucher, U. Pietsch, J. Zellner and E. Weckert

Synopsis: The change of structure-factor phases of several weak reflections of GaAs has been measured by three-beam interferences. Using a modulation technique, phase variations of the order of 1° for a field strength of 1  kV  mm-1 were determined.

Algebraic expressions for symmetry-adapted functions of the icosahedral group in spinor space

P.-D. Fan, J.-Q. Chen and J. P. Draayer

Synopsis: Algebraic expressions for projection operators and symmetry-adapted functions (SAFs) of the icosahedral group for spinor (double-valued) representations are found by using the double-induced technique and eigenfunction method.
