Abstract

A series of A15 structure V-Si films were sputtered with compositions ranging from approximately V90Si10 to V75Si25 . The as-deposited critical temperature onsets were between ~ 8 and 17K. Carbon levels of up to 5 at.%(average) were implanted and the films subsequently annealed at various temperatures between 650 and 1050°C. No Tc's above 17K were obtained in the C-implanted films. However enhancements of as much as ~ 9K, from ~ 8 to 17K, in highly Si-deficient films indicated that carbon was incorporated into the A15 structure of these films to form pseudo-binary V-Si-C alloys. Experimental details are given and some reasons why Tc values greater than 17K were not obtained are discussed.
