Abstract
Electron microscopy and electron diffraction have been employed to bring out the intimate relationship between icosahedral quasicrystal and various types of crystalline phases with emphasis on aluminium transition metal alloys. The relationship between quasicrystal and twinned rational approximant structures will be treated in the context of irrational twinning. The twinned aggregates show an icosahedral like symmetry in electron diffraction patterns. The crystallography of irrational twins has been discussed in terms of various ways of representing a twin relationship in a cubic lattice.
