Scientific paper

Scattering of electrons due to fractons can result in a resistivity that {\it decreases} with temperature. Such a behavior also appears in real quasicrystals. If this is then attributed to fracton scattering, fracton-superconductivity would be theoretically possible. By fitting with the scattering result the experimental resistivity data for the AlPdMn quasicrystal, we estimate the corresponding $T_c$. This effective fracton interpretation, not unexpected for a self-similar system, is also found consistent with other experiments on thermal and acoustic properties of the AlPdMn quasicrystal.
