Abstract
A simple model for the growth of icosahedral phase based on structural information obtained from crystalline phases is defined and simulation results are presented. Growth velocities in the splat-cooling range and 400Å system sizes are attained. The resulting structures are neither crystalline nor quasiperiodic but resemble a glass. Long-range correlations indicate a linear peak width vs. | G⊥| relationship with a slope that is within a factor of two of experimental values.
