摘要
The magneto-transport properties of the I-Al6Ru alloy were investigated in a broad range of temperature (T), applied magnetic field (H), and the amplitude of the electrical current. Type II superconductivity was observed below 1.66 K with the transition to the superconducting state taking place in a broad range of T (deltaT(C) = 0.86 K). An Abrikosov to a vortex-liquid phase line was also observed and the data were nicely fitted to a de Almeida-Thouless line, H-C(T) = H-C(0)[1 - T-C (H)/T-C(0)](phi)/2, yielding phi = 3, H-C(0) = 140 mT and T-C (0) = 0.83 K. The influence of the DOS on deltaT(C) is also addressed in this work.
