| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
One of the purposes of this research is to search new physical phenomena in the magnetic quasicrystal of a strongly correlated electron system with Tsai-type clusters. First, we report the emergence of bulk superconductivity in Au-Ge-Yb approximants (AGY(I) and AGY(II)) below 0.68 and 0.36 K, respectively. This is the first observation of superconductivity in Tsai-type crystalline approximants of quasicrystals. We also present a structure model refined by Rietveld analysis for X-ray diffraction data. The Tsai-type cluster center is occupied by Au and Ge ions in the former approximant, and by an Yb ion in the latter. For magnetism, the latter system shows a larger magnetization than the former. To explain this observation, we propose a model that the cluster-center Yb ion is magnetic.
