Models for Al-TM (TM is transition metal) quasicrystals consisting of networks of icosahedral units have the merit to be specific about the transition metal surrounding. Experimental arguments are brought for the importance of local stable Al12TM clusters in the formation of disorder-free icosahedral phases.
