Superconducting-transition temperature of rhenium and molybdenum films
Abstract
Rhenium and molybdenum films were obtained by vacuum condensation onto substrates cooled by liquid helium. The superconducting-transition temperatures of these films were investigated as functions of their thickness and production conditions. Formation of metastable phases with high transition temperatures (16.7 K for Re and 8.5 K for Mo) was observed in the films. It is concluded that the nature of the thickness-dependence of the transition temperature of superconducting films is determined by the magnitude of electron-phonon interactions in the equilibrium state.
