Direct evidence for the occurrence of superconductivity in the magnetic compound YFe₄Al₈

For the first time we present the direct evidence for superconductivity in the ternary magnetic compound YFe₄Al₈ with the ThMn₁₂ type structure found via point-contact (PC) experiments on contacts between silver needle and single-crystal YFe₄Al₈, revealing the distinct Andreev-reflection current. Th...
