Abstract: A topological index Z is proposed for a connected graph G representing the carbon skeleton of a saturated hydrocarbon. The integer Z is the sum of a set of the numbers p(G,k), which is the number of ways in which such k bonds are so chosen from G that no two of them are connected. For chain molecules Z is closely related to the characteristic polynomial derived from the topological matrix. It is found that Z is correlated well with the topological nature of the carbon skeleton, i.e., the mode of branching and ring closure. Some interesting relations are found, such as a graphical representation of the Fibonacci numbers and a composition principle for counting Z. Correlation of Z with boiling points of saturated hydrocarbons is pointed out.

TL;DR: The first realization of a quasiperiodic (incommensurate) superlattice is reported, which consists of alternating layers of GaAs and AlAs to form a Fibonacci sequence in which the ratio of incommensurate periods is equal to the golden mean.
Abstract: We report the first realization of a quasiperiodic (incommensurate) superlattice. The sample, grown by molecular-beam epitaxy, consists of alternating layers of GaAs and AlAs to form a Fibonacci sequence in which the ratio of incommensurate periods is equal to the golden mean $\ensuremath{\tau}$. X-ray and Raman scattering measurements are presented that reveal some of the unique properties of these novel structures.

TL;DR: An experiment to probe the (quasi)localization of the photon is proposed, in which optical layers are constructed following the Fibonacci sequence, which has scaling with respect to the number of layers, as well as an interesting fluctuation.
Abstract: An experiment to probe the (quasi)localization of the photon is proposed, in which optical layers are constructed following the Fibonacci sequence. The transmission coefficient has a rich structure as a function of the wavelength of light and, in fact, is multifractal. For particular wavelengths for which the resonance condition is satisfied, the light propagation has scaling with respect to the number of layers, as well as an interesting fluctuation.
