摘要:
A method of fabricating a device including a superconductive layer includes depositing a seed layer on a substrate, exposing the seed layer to an oxygen-containing gas or plasma to form a modified seed layer, and after exposing the seed layer to the oxygen-containing gas or plasma depositing a metal nitride superconductive layer directly on the modified seed layer. The seed layer is a nitride of a first metal, and the superconductive layer is a nitride of a different second metal.

摘要:
A niobium-based superconductor is manufactured by establishing multiple niobium components in a billet of a ductile metal, working the composite billet through a series of reduction steps to form the niobium components into elongated elements, each niobium element having a thickness on the order of 1 to 25 microns, surrounding the billet prior to the last reduction step with a porous confining layer of an acid resistant metal, immersing the confined billet in an acid or a high temperature liquid metal to remove the ductile metal from between the niobium elements while the niobium elements remain confined by said porous layer, exposing the confined mass of niobium elements to a material capable of reacting with Nb to form a superconductor.
摘要:
The invention is a process for reducing roughness of a surface of a superconductor material (23) having an undesirable surface roughness (30 and 32) and a trilayer superconductor integrated circuit (100). The process for reducing roughness of a surface of superconductor material having an undesirable surface roughness includes coating the surface with an oxide layer (40) to fill the undesirable surface roughness and to produce an exposed oxide surface (42) with a roughness less than the surface roughness; and etching the exposed oxide surface to remove a thickness of the oxide layer followed by removing at least a portion of the oxide layer filling the undesirable surface roughness and a portion of the surface of the superconductor material to produce an exposed etched surface (44) comprised of at least the superconductor material which has a surface roughness less than the undesirable surface roughness.
摘要:
A method of forming, by melt-spinning techniques, a laminated ribbon structure consisting, for example, of a semiconductor disposed on a metal ribbon substrate. The substrate may be 10-50 .mu.m thick and the semiconductor may be 10-50 .mu.m thick, for example; typically the ribbon width is about one millimeter to several centimeters.

Process for preparing NbN superconducting material, characterized in that a bulk Nb is placed in powder including at least one metal which can be nitriding-burned, and then the powder is heated to be nitriding-burned in pressurized N.sub.2 atmosphere so that the bulk Nb is nitrided by the nitriding-burning of the powder.
摘要:
This is a method for preparing submicron-superconducting particles for use in forming a ductile superconductor wire from brittle superconducting compounds. The method utilizes preparing a mixture of solid metal halides containing essentially stoichiometric proportions of metallic components for the desired superconducting compound, co-reducing the mixture with an excess of liquid alkali metal, removing the alkali metal halide produced and the excess alkali metal from the superconducting powder, and annealing the superconducting powder to substantially remove absorbed hydrogen as indicated by the reduction of lattice parameters to essentially nominal values.
