Superconducting properties and structural phase transformation of Nb2N induced by C+- and N+-implantation

  • 1. Naval Research Lab., Washington, DC (USA)

Description

Thin films of h.c.p. Nb2N implanted uniformly with 25 at% C+ or N+ ions were found to transform into the f.c.c. B1 structure; film surface temperatures did not exceed 2000C. The resistive superconducting transition sharpened markedly and Tsub(c) was found to increase after implantation, presumably due to the structural change. X-Ray diffraction measurements were used to determine crystal structure and lattice parameters. A possible mechanism for the transformation is discussed. (author)
