摘要
In earlier studies of phonons in V3Si, a gradual softening of the (hh0) branch was observed and attributed to the martensitic transition in this compound, which precedes the onset of superconductivity by a few degrees K. In this work, the temperature dependence of the transverse acoustic (TA) branch along the hh0 direction was studied in greater detail and it is shown that while the TA hh0 mode starts to soften at relatively high temperatures (> 200 K), an anomalous softening, which is rather localized in q, occurs just below T-c. The intensity of this soft-phonon peak correlates extremely well with the onset of the superconducting phase and appears to vary as the order parameter with temperature and applied field. The similarities in the phonon softening and Fermi-surface anisotropy between this compound and the rare-earth nickel borocarbides suggest the existence of a common mechanism for the superconducting transition.
