Abstract
We measured the low-temperature specific heat in pseudo-binary alloyed compounds Zr2(Co1-xNix) (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.3) in the temperature range from 1.5 to 8 K under various magnetic fields. In this system, Tc. has one maximum (≈6 K) near x = 0.1. Corresponding to the maximum of Tc, the electronic specific heat coefficient γ and energy gap 2Δ(0)/kB Tc are maximum near x= 0.1, that is, higher density of states N(0) at the Fermi level near x= 0.1 results in higher Tc. Furthermore, the upper critical field, Hc2(0), is maximum near x=0.1.
