Phonon softening of Nb3Sn in [zetazetazeta]T modes
Description
Neutron scattering measurements have been extended to the [zetazetazeta] transverse branch of Nb3Sn. In contrast to the prediction of Gor'kov, this branch also shows a pronounced phonon softening. We conclude that all phonon branches in Nb3Sn exhibit softening for a wide range of q towards the martensitic transition at 45 K
