Kvasikrystaller som fremmer atomisk bevægelse i form af fasoner kan måske øge [[varmetransport]] i [[Elektrisk isolator|isolatorer]] dramatisk.

Phasons are excitations associated with atomic rearrangements in the crystal that change the phase of waves describing the mismatch in the structure..."</ref>
