Abstract
It has been established that quasicrystals with icosahedral point group symmetry occur in a rapidly solidified Mg32 (Al, Zn)49 alloy chosen on the basis of its equilibrium crystal structure. This alloy has a natural tendency to form icosahedral atomic clusters stabilised by size difference amongst constituent atoms. Results highlight the relationship between equilibrium crystal structure and the tendency to form quasicrystals.
