“…The increase in the T c upon annealing up to an annealing temperature below the first crystallisation exotherm in the Zr 80 Fe 20 and Zr 80 Co 20 metallic glasses has been related to the decrease in the spin-fluctuation mass enhancement parameter, λ sp . It is well known that the influence of spin fluctuations on superconductivity in Zr-3d metallic glasses decreases with increasing Zr concentration whereas at fixed Zr concentration it decreases as one move from Fe towards Ni [13,[24][25][26]. Thus, the effect of the λ sp on superconductivity in the investigated samples can be negligible.…”
