  ABSTRACT: Quasicrystals are material with perfect long-range order, but with no three-dimensional translation periodicity. They are typically binary and ternary metallic alloys. Quasicrystals have characteristic physical properties. Some resemble those of periodic crystals while others have similar properties to amorphous alloys. Many of their mechanical physical prop- erties are quite unusual by the standards of common metals. The peculiar physical properties of quasicrystals certainly give rise to the hope that they may become of some practical importance in the future. Some of these properties are surface related. This provides the main motivation for surface scientists to study this material. In this paper; quasicrystals, types of them, physical properties, surface science and potential applications of them have been discussed.
