摘要
In disordered superconducting Cu-Zr alloys with dilute magnetic impurities, we have observed a new type of resistance anomaly which gives rise to strongly increased scattering of conduction electrons in a narrow temperature range above Tc and appears to be due to interaction between superconducting fluctuations and spin. For a given level of impurities this phenomenon is peaked around Cu50Zr50, but is observable from 36 to 60 at.% Zr. When the Cr impurity concentration is varied in Cu50Zr50, a resistance peak can be observed for 100600 ppm Cr with a maximum peak height of about 6% of the measured resistance. The effect is destroyed by a magnetic field of some tenths of a tesla. © 1990 The American Physical Society.
