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

We demonstrate ion irradiation by argon or gallium as a wafer-scale post-processing
method to increase disorder in superconducting thin films. We study several widely used …

In this study, we performed first-principles calculations based on density functional theory to
investigate the structure, electronic properties, and elastic and thermodynamic performance …

The first-principles calculations were used to explore the structural stability, elastic
properties, anisotropy in elasticity and thermodynamics properties of Mo 3 Ge with six …

We present results of ab initio theoretical investigations of the electronic structure, phonon
dispersion relations, electron–phonon interaction and superconductivity in the rocksalt and …

Abstract Molybdenum silicides (Mo–Si) have attracted great interest owing to their good
electrical conductivity, ultra-high melting point and well oxidation resistance. In this work, the …

The structural, elastic and thermodynamic properties of the cubic Mo 3 Si and Mo 3 Ge
intermetallics were investigated using density functional theory within the local density …

In this theoretical study, we have targeted to present the characteristic features of the
superconductivity in the cubic A15-type compound Ta 3 Ge by investigating its structural …

We study the structural stability and electronic properties of A 3 B (A= Cr, Mo, and W; B= Al,
Ga, In, Si, Ge, Sn, and Be) compounds using ab initio pseudopotential method with Perdew …

In this study, the structural, elastic, electronic, phonon and electron-phonon interaction
properties of A15 type cubic Nb 3 Os compound were investigated by density functional …
