Abstract in Portuguese
Medimos a variação na atenuação do som com o campo magnético no estado misto da liga Nb-26% Hf usando ondas longitudinais e transversais com frequências de 5 - 140 MHz e para T = 4,14 K. Os resultados experimentais foram comparados com as teorias microscópicas de Houghton e Maki e de Cerdeira e Houghton. Mostramos que nossos dados não podem ser entendidos em termos destas teorias. Por outro lado, nossas medidas concordam bem com um modelo fenomenológico de Shapira e Neuringer para a atenuação no estado misto. Fizemos uma comparação detalhada entre nossos dados experimentais e as previsões do modelo com respeito à dependência da atenuação com frequência e campo magnético. Mostramos haver uma concordância qualitativa excelente. Finalmente, introduzimos uma modificação no modelo original de Shapira e Neuringer. Esta modificação melhora substancialmente o acordo com os dados experimentais da atenuação como função do campo magnético, para frequências altas e campos próximos a Hc2.

Abstract in English
We have measured the magnetic field dependence of the ultrasonic attenuation in the mixed state of Nb-26% Hf, using longitudinal and transverse waves with frequencies of 5 - 140 MHz and for T = 4.14 K. The experimental results were compared with the microscopic theories of Houghton and Maki and Cerdeira and Houghton. We have shown that our data cannot be understood in terms of these theories. On the other hand, our measurements agree well with a phenomenological model of Shapira and Neuringer for the ultrasonic attenuation in the mixed state. We have made a detailed comparison between our experimental results and the predictions of the model with respect to the dependence of the attenuation on magnetic field and frequency and have shown them to be in excellent qualitative agreement. Finally, we have modified the original model of Shapira and Neuringer. This modification substancially improves the agreement with experimental data for the magnetic field dependence of the attenuation, for high frequencies and for magnetic fields in the vicinity of Hc2.
