ABSTRACT: This
structural study of quasicrystals is based on extremely dense icosahedral unit
cells that are systematically and consistently measured for the first time. The
structure and pattern indexation are 3-dimensional. A formula is given for
scattering from atoms in hierarchic arrangement and geometric series. The
Quasi-Bragg law is a new law in physics, with possible applications beyond
crystallography. The structure is compared with previous, unsuccessful, and
contradictory, attempts at analysis.
