The cover picture shows a icosahedron with three orthogonal rectangles sketched in. A basic component of a quasicrystal is the icosahedron decorated with atoms in its centre and at its corners. It is also possible to find a hexagon around the central atom of an icosahedron. However, this hexagon is not lying ina plane as in the cases of the Cu‐, W‐ and Mg structure types but the atoms of the hexagon are arranged in a zig‐zag up‐ and downwards. (see pages 1105–1112).
