Ultimately, the rules bridged metallurgy, crystallography, and physics in a way that led to the emergence of a physics of the solid state in 1930s, although the physical implications of the rules were never fully resolved. Even today, despite a revived interest brought about by the 1984 discovery of quasicrystals, much about the rules remains an enigma.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow almost a century after the rules were put forward, \u003cstrong\u003eHume-Rothery Rules for Structurally Complex Alloy Phases\u003c\/strong\u003e provides researchers with an insightful and applicable interpretation of the Hume-Rothery electron concentration rule.
