## Description

- description: Superconductivity in quasicrystals poses a new challenge in condensed
    matter physics. We measuredtheresistanceandacmagneticsusceptibilityofaTa1.6Tedodecagonalquasicrystal,
    which is superconducting below Tc ∼ 1 K. We show that the upper critical field
    increases linearlywithalargeslopeof−4.4T/Kwithdecreasingtemperaturedownto0.04K,withno
    tendencytoleveloff.Theextrapolatedzero-temperaturecriticalfieldexceedsthePaulilimit
    by a factor of 2.3. We also observed flux-flow resistance with thermally activated
    behavior and an irreversibility field that is distinct from the upper critical
    field. We discuss these peculiarities in terms of the nonuniform superconducting
    gap and spin–orbit interaction in quasicrystal structures.
