Abstract
The nuclear spin lattice relaxation rate 1/ T 1 of 51 V and specific heat have been measured in a strong electron-phonon coupling superconductor HfV 2 . The behavior of 1/ T 1 T between 9.4 K and 100 K in the normal state can be attributed to a sharp narrow d -band with the half width of about 100 K. In the superconducting state, the 1/ T 1 shows a very small enhancement just below T c and has the T 5 dependence well below T c . These behaviors are interpreted satisfactorily in terms of the ABM model. The value of the electronic specific heat coefficient is about forty times as large as that for Al. The electronic part of the specific heat is proportional to T 3 at low temperatures. These facts mean that the superconducting energy gap of HfV 2 is anisotropic and vanishes at points on the Fermi surface.
