The nontrivial effects of annealing on superconducting properties of Nb single crystals

The nontrivial effects of annealing on superconducting properties of Nb single crystals

The effect of annealing on the superconducting properties of niobium single crystals cut from the same master boule was studied by local and global magnetic measurements, as well as scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). The formation of large hydride precipitates was observed in unannealed samples. The variation in structural and magnetic …
