Popis: Glasslike anomalies of low-temperature thermal properties were observed for the polycrystalline Nb37Ti63 alloy and Nb37Ti63 doped with deuterium. A giant heat release effect was found in (Nb-Ti)92D8 corresponding to a spectral density of two level systems of 7.8·1045 J−1 m−3. After rapid cooling of the sample a length relaxation with a quadratic dependence on the starting temperature was detected obeying a logarithmic time dependence. The results fit to the standard tunneling model assuming a temperature and time independent Gruneisen parameter. A constant Gruneisen parameter is compatible with a constant deformation potential γ but requires ∂λ/∂V to depend on Δ/Δ0. For both systems the thermal expansion coefficient exhibits a linear temperature term in the superconducting state dominating below 1 K.
