Low-temperature specific-heat studies have shown that the superconducting transitions of thermally and mechanically induced martensitic structures, in quenched Ti-Mo (4{} at.%), occur in the range 2.5-3.2^∘{}K, compared to an estimated 0.5^∘{}K for the undistorted material. It is concluded that these thermal and deformation martensites are examples of structures in which "soft-phonon" modes are operative to increase Tc above what would be expected for unfaulted lattices of similar compositions.
