Abstract
We report on magnetron deposition of thin superconducting rhenium films on sapphire substrates. During the deposition, substrates were held at ambient temperature. Critical temperature of the films is Tc ~ 3.6 K. Films have polycrystalline structure, and grazing incidence X-ray diffractometry indicates that crystalline lattice parameters are somewhat larger compared to the bulk ones. Magnetoresistive and AC/DC susceptibilities allowed us to determine Hc1 and Hc2 of these films, as well as estimate coherence length ξ(0) and magnetic penetration depth λL(0). We also provide information on surface morphology of these films.
期刊介绍:
The journal covers a wide range of issues in information optics such as optical memory, mechanisms for optical data recording and processing, photosensitive materials, optical, optoelectronic and holographic nanostructures, and many other related topics. Papers on memory systems using holographic and biological structures and concepts of brain operation are also included. The journal pays particular attention to research in the field of neural net systems that may lead to a new generation of computional technologies by endowing them with intelligence.
