We report on the optimisation of amorphous molybdenum silicide thin film growth for
superconducting nanowire single-photon detector (SNSPD) applications. Molybdenum …

Foreword from author; When I joined the CEA Saclay SRF group in 1989, my initial
background was physical chemistry and surface science, which I completed later on with …

We measured the photoelectron spectra of Nb2Si n–(n= 2–12) anions and investigated the
geometric structures and electronic properties of Nb2Si n–anions and their neutral …

Niobium-doped silicon clusters, NbSin−(n= 3–12), were generated by laser vaporization and
investigated by anion photoelectron spectroscopy. The structures and electronic properties …

Niobium carbide thin films were synthesized by atomic layer deposition (ALD) using
trimethylaluminum (TMA), NbF5, and NbCl5 precursors. In situ quartz crystal microbalance …

The present study describes atomic layer deposition (ALD) processes and characterization
of CoF2, NiF2, and HoF3 thin films. For CoF2 deposition CoCl2 (TMEDA)(TMEDA= N, N …

Highly selective deposition of MoSi x on Si in preference to SiO 2 and SiN x was achieved
via atomic layer deposition (ALD) using MoF 6 and Si 2 H 6 at 120° C. The selectivity was …

Nanostructured hematite (α-Fe2O3) has been widely studied for use in a variety of thin film
applications including solar energy conversion, water oxidation, catalysis, lithium-ion …

Modern superconducting qubits based on two-dimensional (2D) transmons typically involve
the growth of Nb thin films on high-resistivity Si substrates. Since imperfections at the Nb-Si …

Uniform, well-dispersed platinum nanoparticles were grown on SrTiO 3 nanocuboids via
atomic layer deposition (ALD) using (methylcyclopentadienyl) trimethylplatinum (MeCpPt …
