Abstract
Inelastic neutron scattering measurements were performed on large volume single crystals of substituted intermetallic superconductor . With decreasing temperature, a gradual softening of a phonon spectrum is observed at around , similar to the case of reported by Dervenagas et al. [Phys. Rev. B 52, R9839 (1995)]. In addition, we discovered that an intense new peak appears below . With application of magnetic field, however, it is easily suppressed and disappears by ( at ). These results strongly indicate that this new peak is undoubtedly associated with its superconducting state.
