One well studied way to construct quasicrystalline tilings is via inflate-and-subdivide (a.k.a. substitution) rules. These produce self-similar tilings-the Penrose, octagonal, and pinwheel tilings are famous examples. We present a different model for generating hierarchical tilings we call "fusion rules". Inflate-and-subdivide rules are a special case of fusion rules, but general fusion rules are more flexible and allow for defects, changes in geometry, and even constrained randomness. A condition that produces homogeneous structures and a method for computing frequency for fusion tiling spaces are discussed.

Precise magnetoresistance measurements on microstructures of photolithographically patterned PbSe epilayers have been performed in the mag­netic field range up to 17 Τ. Unusually large, reproducible magnetoconductance fluctuations have been observed. The fluctuation amplitude decreases exponentially with the magnetic field. A correlation magnetic field of the fluctuations corresponds to the Aharonov-Bohm effect which involves elec­tron trajectories much smaller than the electron mean free path. This points strongly to the ballistic, not diffusive, origin of the observed phenomenon.

Magnetoresistance measurements of photolithographically patterned PbSe and Pb-{1-y}Mn_{x}Se microstructures were performed. Reproducible mag­netoconductance fluctuations with the amplitude increasing with decreasing temperature were observed. Unexpectedly, these fluctuations contain a com­ponent periodic in the magnetic field, and their magnitude is greater than that expected from the current theory of the universal conductance fluctua­tions. Possible explanations are discussed.

We show that conducting edge channels are formed in free standing wires of PbSe/BaF_{2} and PbTe/BaF_{2} as temperature is lowered. The effect results from spatially inhomogeneous strain caused by a difference between the thermal expansion coefficients of the epilayer and the substrate. The presence of the edge channels can explain anomalous mesoscopic effects observed previously in these wires.
