Abstract
Amorphous alloys of Zr x Cu100−x (55≦x≦72) quenched from the melt are investigated by low temperature specific heat measurements. The influence of concentrationx, temperature of the melt before the quenching process and heat treatment on the electronic density of states, the Debye temperature and the superconducting transition temperature is examined. The latter one is the most affected value by structural relaxation while the specific heat in the normal conducting region remains nearly unchanged.
