Observation of Lattice Stabilization ofV3Si in High Magnetic Fields

Abstract
In V3Si a noticeable reduction of the martensitic transformation temperature was found in high magnetic fields. The effect is in good agreement with recent predictions of Dieterich and Fulde, whose calculations are based on the linear chain model of Labbé and Friedel, thus giving strong confirmation of the latter also. Lifetime effects are also briefly discussed.
