Substrate mediated nitridation of niobium into superconducting Nb2N thin films for phase slip study
Abstract Here we report a novel nitridation technique for transforming niobium into hexagonal Nb2N which appears to be superconducting below 1K. The nitridation is achieved by high temperature annealing of Nb films grown on Si3N4/Si (100) substrate under high vacuum. The structural characterization...
