Abstract
We consider for the first time twinning in quasicrystals and related s tructures in a systematic manner. The twinning operations are consider ed in the framework of six-dimensional crystallography. The number of twin variants and the symmetry of twinned aggregates are also discusse d. It is shown that essentially two different types of interface can a rise between any two twin variants.
