The number of articles on QCs in the years following the seminal publication by Shechtman et al. (1984BB57). In some years the numbers peak owing to the publication of proceedings of international conferences on quasicrystals (ICQs) that took place in the year before. The general trend of the publication rate shows a decrease since the year 2000. This reflects the decreasing interest in, and funding for, QC research because of the lack of important applications.
