Design of crystal-like aperiodic solids with selective disorder–phonon coupling

Functional materials design normally focuses on structurally ordered systems because disorder is considered detrimental to many functional properties. Here we challenge this paradigm by showing that particular types of strongly correlated disorder can give rise to useful characteristics that are ina...
