Abstract: | Specific heat measurements performed between 1.4 and 20 K on bulk and cold-worked V, Nb and Ta superconducting materials are presented. The plastic deformation produces an increase in the superconducting transition temperature Tc, an increase which is relatively less important for Ta than for Nb and less for Nb than for V. An increase is registered for the normal linear coefficient of specific heat γ whereas the Debye temperature decreases slightly. The apparent relation between the increase of Tc and γ suggests qualitatively that the vibrating mobile dislocation contribution is not the only origin of the increase of γ but that a band structure contribution is also to be taken into account. |
