From quasicrystalline alloys to twisted bilayer graphene, the study of material properties arising from quasiperiodic structure has driven advances in theory and applied science. Here we introduce a class of two-phase composites, structured by deterministic Moiré patterns, and we find that these composites display exotic behavior in their bulk electrical, magnetic, diffusive, thermal, and optical properties.

Moiré patterns and ordered aperiodic geometries have received significant attention since their observation in twisted bilayer graphene and quasicrystalline alloys. Here, the authors theoretically demonstrate that the same patterns can govern localization in quasiperiodic metal-dielectric composite...
