Role of carbon nanotube ribbon on the superconducting properties of epitaxial NbC films

We demonstrated the integration of highly aligned carbon nanotube (CNT) ribbons with epitaxial NbC films. The formation of NbC/CNT composites enhanced the normal-state conductivity along the CNT axial direction and improved the superconducting transition temperature of the assembly. The enhanced upp...

Sumario:We demonstrated the integration of highly aligned carbon nanotube (CNT) ribbons with epitaxial NbC films. The formation of NbC/CNT composites enhanced the normal-state conductivity along the CNT axial direction and improved the superconducting transition temperature of the assembly. The enhanced upper critical field of NbC/CNT suggested that the inclusion of CNTs in the NbC matrix reduced the coherence length of the NbC. Nanomechanical testing also demonstrated the potential for enhanced fracture toughness of NbC/CNT composites.
