Abstract
Two Single crystals of Nb3Sn presenting the martensitic anomaly at different temperature and shape, as observed with specific heat measurements, were used to study structural features in the electronic density of states with point contact spectroscopy. At high temperature below the martensitic anomaly, we observed different spectroscopic characteristics. One sample displaying a well marked specific heat peak, shows a clearly defined structure in the differential conductance that evolves with temperature and may be associated with changes on the density of states due to the opening of a charge density wave gap. Those features are very dependent on the crystallographics characteristics of the single crystal examined.
