  • 利用混合物理化学气相沉积法在6H-SiC(001)衬底上制备干净的MgB2超导超薄膜.在本底气体压强、载气氢气流量等条件一定的情况下,改变B2H6流量及沉积时间,制备得到不同厚度的系列MgB2超薄膜样品,并研究了超导转变温度Tc、剩余电阻率(42K)、上临界磁场Hc2等与膜厚的关系.该系列超薄膜沿c轴外延生长,随膜厚度的变小,Tc(0)降低,(42K)升高.膜在衬底上的生长遵循Volmer-Weber岛状生长模式.对于厚度为7.5 nm的MgB2超薄膜,Tc(0) =32.8 K,(42K) =118 cm,是迄今为止所观测到的厚度为7.5 nm的MgB2超薄膜最高的Tc值;对于厚度为10 nm的MgB2膜,Tc(0)=35.5 K,(42K)=17.7 cm,上临界磁场0Hc2估算为12 T左右,零磁场、4 K时的临界电流密度Jc=1.0107 A/cm2,是迄今为止10 nm厚MgB2超薄膜的最高Jc值,且其表面连接性良好,均方根粗糙度为0.731 nm.这预示MgB2超薄膜在超导纳米器件上具有广阔的应用前景.

     

    We fabricate MgB2 ultra-thin films via hybrid physical-chemical vapor deposition technique. Under the same background pressure, the same H2 flow rate, by changing B2H6 flow rate and deposition time, we fabricate a series of ultra-thin films with thickness ranging from 5 nm to 80 nm. These films grow on SiC substrate, and are all c-axis epitaxial. We study the Volmer-Weber mode in the film formation. As the thickness increases, critical transition temperature Tc(0) also increases and the residual resistivity decreases. Especially, a very high Tc(0) 32.8 K for the 7.5 nm film, and Tc(0) 36.5 K, low residual resistivity (42 K) 17.7 cm, and extremely high critical current density Jc (0 T,4 K) 107 A/cm2, upper critical field Hc2(0) for 10 nm film are achieved. Moreover, by optimizing the H2 flow rate, we obtain relatively smooth surface of the 10 nm epitaxial film, with a root-mean-square roughness of 0.731 nm, which makes them well qualified for device applications.
