Results of X-band microwave surface impedance measurements of FeSe1-xTex very thin film are reported. The effective surface resistance shows appearance of peak at T less and near Tc when plotted as function of temperature. The authors…

We investigate the evolution of superconductivity with decreasing film thickness in ultrathin amorphous MoGe (a-MoGe) films using a combination of sub-Kelvin scanning tunneling spectroscopy, magnetic penetration depth measurements and…

We report the high-field superconducting properties of thin, disordered Re films via magneto-transport and tunneling density of states measurements. Films with thicknesses in the range of 9 nm to 3 nm had normal state sheet resistances of…

We report the first study of the optical conductivity of MgB2 covering the range of its superconducting energy gap. Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy is utilized to determine the complex, frequency-dependent conductivity of thin films. The…

In this thesis, we have studied the evolution of superconductivity in amorphous Molybdenum Germanium ($\textit{a}$-MoGe) thin films. The work can be broken down into two parts. In the first part, we investigate the effect of decreasing…

Here we report an optical investigation in the terahertz region of a 40 nm ultrathin BaFe$_{1.84}$Co$_{0.16}$As$_2$ superconducting film with superconducting transition temperature T$_c$ = 17.5 K. A detailed analysis of the combined…

In contact with a superconductor, a normal metal modifies its properties due to Andreev reflection. In the current work, the local density of states (LDOS) of superconductor - normal metal Mo$_{78}$Ge$_{22}$ - Au bilayers are studied by…

Superconducting properties of thin films can be vastly different from those of bulk materials. Seminal work has shown the critical temperature Tc of elemental superconductors decreases with decreasing film thickness when the normal-state…

Thin films of $ \beta- $tungsten host superconductivity in the presence of strong spin-orbit coupling. This non-equilibrium crystalline phase of tungsten has attracted considerable attention in recent years due to its giant spin Hall effect…

We measured the THz reflectance properties of a high quality epitaxial thin film of the Fe-based superconductor BaFe$_{1.84}$Co$_{0.16}$As$_2$ with T$_c$=22.5 K. The film was grown by pulsed laser deposition on a DyScO$_3$ substrate with an…

High precision measurements of the complex sheet conductivity of superconducting Mo77Ge23 thin films have been made from 0.4 K through Tc. A sharp drop in the inverse sheet inductance, 1/L(T), is observed at a temperature, Tc, which lies…

Thickness uniformity is regarded as an important parameter in designing thin film devices. However, some applications based on films with non-uniform thickness have recently emerged, such as gas sensors and optimized materials based on the…

The Hall effect is investigated for eight superconducting Fe(Se_0.5_Te_0.5_) thin films grown on MgO and LaSrAlO_4_ substrates with different transition temperatures (T_c_). The normal Hall coefficients (R_H_) have positive values with…

The terahertz (THz) properties of ZrN thin films grown with CMOS-techniques on industry-standard 300 mm silicon wafers are investigated in order to explore their superconducting behavior. The films have thicknesses ranging from 18 to 48 nm,…

Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have garnered significant interest in optoelectronics, owing to their scalability and thickness-dependent electrical and optical properties. In particular, thin films of TMDCs could be used in…

We investigated a high-quality MgB$_{2}$ thin film with a thickness of $\sim$1000 nm on an Al$_{2}$O$_{3}$ substrate using optical spectroscopy. We measured the reflectance spectra of the film at various temperatures both below, and above,…

We report electrical resistivity measurements on a high-quality Ba$_{1-x}$K$_{x}$Fe$_{2}$As$_{2}$ thin film ($x=0.4$) under pressure. The superconducting transition temperature (=39.95 K) of the optimally-doped thin film shows a dome shape…

We report measurements of the energy gap of granular aluminum films by THz spectroscopy. We find that as the grains progressively decouple, the coupling ratio $2\Delta(0)/k_{B}T_{c}$ increases above the BCS weak coupling ratio $3.53$, and…

A series of electron-doped cuprate La(2-x)CexCuO4 thin films with different thicknesses have been fabricated and their annealing time are adjusted carefully to ensure the highest superconducting transition temperature. The transport…

Far-infrared reflectance of a MgB2 film has been measured by Fourier-transform spectroscopy for frequencies 10 cm^{-1}<\nu <4000 cm^{-1} above and below the superconducting transition. The data provide clear experimental evidence for the…
