Abstract :
The authors prepared Mo60Re40 thin films by single target magnetron sputtering. All the films analyzed exhibited a sharp superconductive transition and values of the critical temperature Tc up to 13 K were achieved. Structural analyses (EDS and X-rays) were performed on the samples. A15 phase was obtained even at low deposition temperatures. From the measured low temperature resistivity Oc and critical temperature T c an estimate of the theoretical BCS surface resistance is inferred and compared with that of niobium
