We investigate the origin of the 18-fold symmetry in quasicrystals. We perform Monte Carlo simulations of 2D disks interacting with the hard-core/square-shoulder potential, and we analyze the bond-orientational order and the local vertex configurations. We find that the so-called special clusters of particles play a crucial role in the mixing of the three sets of bond directions 20 apart, producing the 18-fold diffraction pattern.
