Formation of quasicrystal structures has always been mysterious since the discovery of these magic structures. In this work, the nucleation of decagonal, dodecagonal, heptagonal, and octagonal quasicrystal structures controlled by the coupling among multiple length scales is investigated using a dynamic phase-field crystal model. We observe that the nucleation of quasicrystals proceeds through local rearrangement of length scales, i.e., the generation, merging and stacking of 3-atom building blocks constructed by the length scales, and accordingly, propose a geometric model to describe the cooperation of length scales during structural transformation in quasicrystal nucleation. Essentially, such cooperation is crucial to quasicrystal formation, and controlled by the match and balance between length scales. These findings clarify the scenario and microscopic mechanism of the structural evolution during quasicrystal nucleation, and help us to understand the common rule for the formation of periodic crystal and quasicrystal structures with various symmetries.
