Observation of superconductivity in a nontrivial $\mathcal{Z}_2$ approximant quasicrystal

Observation of superconductivity in a nontrivial $\mathcal{Z}_2$ approximant quasicrystal

Superconductivity and nontrivial topology are highly sought-after phenomena in quantum materials. While many topological crystalline materials have been found to exhibit superconductivity, their presence in quasicrystals - materials with a unique aperiodic yet ordered structure - has remained largely unexplored. In this work, we report the discovery of superconductivity in …
