Abstract

This work shows the experimental results of the superconductor-insulator (S-I) transition for amorphous molybdenum ruthenium (MoRu) and molybdenum ruthenium nitride (MoRuN) films. These amorphous films onto c-plane sapphire substrates have been interpreted to be homogeneous by XRD and AFM measurements. Electrical and superconducting properties measurements were carried out on MoRu and MoRuN thin films deposited by reactive sputtering technique. We have analysed the data on Rsq (T) based on excess conductivity of superconducting films by the AL and MT term and weak localization and electron-electron interaction for the conductance. MoRu films which offer the most homogeneous film morphology, showed a critical sheet resistance of transition, Rc, of ∼ 2 kΩ. This values is smaller than those previously our reported for quench-condensed MoRu films on SiO underlayer held at liquid He temperature.
