Abstract

The nickel borocarbides RNi₂B₂C, R = Y or Lu, have a superconducting T_c of 15-16K and exhibit properties consistent with an anisotropic s-wave gap. We briefly review their properties. Electronic Raman scattering results are presented on YNi₂B₂C containing ¹¹B or ¹⁰B. In A_1g and B_1g Raman symmetries, there is no shift in the position of the '2Δ' peak with B-isotope. There is a distinct negative shift, however, in B_2g symmetry. This is interpreted as a negative isotope shift for the gap Δ on that portion of the Fermi surface where the magnitude of the B_2g Raman vertex is large.
