The heat capacity (between 2 and 500 K), magnetic susceptibility (2--300 K), and superconducting transition temperature of the Zr/sub 70/Be/sub 30/ system are measured in the amorphous and metastable crystalline states. The parameters that characterize the changes in the phonon and electron spectra of the alloy upon amorphization are determined from the experimental data, and the contributions of the changes to T/sub c/ are analyzed. The expression obtained for T/sub c/ by solving the Eliashberg equation with a kernel comprising the sum of peaks with significantly different characteristic frequencies is used in analysis. It is shown that for Zr/sub 70/Be/sub 30/ the contribution made to T/sub c/ by the change of the phonon spectrum on amorphization is comparable with the contribution due to the change of the electron spectrum. The role of the optical phonons in the establishment of T/sub c/ is considered.
