Abstract
The application of niobium and niobium-titanium nitrides in RF devices is studied. Nitride samples, prepared by diffusion of nitrogen in bulk niobium and alloy, have been characterized by X-ray diffraction, SEM and AC magnetic measurements. Several phases of niobium nitride have been observed: the phase with higher nitrogen content, at the sample surface, has critical temperature about 15 K but inclusions of both lower T/sub c/ and nonsuperconducting phases enhance the RF surface resistance. The niobium-titanium nitride surface is composed by a phase having critical temperature up to 17 K and unwanted phases were not observed.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
