Description

Magnetoresistivity measurements on transforming and non-transforming V3Si are reported. The martensitic structural transformation (Tsub(m) approx.= 21 K) is induced by annealing. The transforming sample shows large deviations from the Koehler's rule [Δrho/rho = f(H/rho)], at temperatures much higher than Tsub(m). They are attributed to precursor effects of the transition, previously observed by other techniques, and are interpreted in terms of the development of different relaxation times for scattering of the electrons.
