Abstract
The temperature dependences of the sound velocity v and attenuation alpha of high-frequency (50–160 MHz) sound in the bulk amorphous alloy Zr41.2Ti13.8Cu12.5Ni10Be22.5 are studied at helium temperatures in the normal and superconducting states. The alloy is characterized by a relatively small constant C determining the intensity of interaction between an elastic wave and two-level systems. The density of states of the latter systems is estimated. The peculiarities in the variation of v during the superconducting transition point to the possibility of a gapless superconductivity in a narrow temperature interval near Tc.
