A hysteresis loop in electrical resistance of NbHx observed above the β−λ transition temperature

We investigate the electron transport properties and structures of β-NbHx(010) epitaxial thin films on Al2O3(001) substrates with a variety of hydrogen contents. NbHx epitaxial thin films with x ≥ 0.77 exhibit a hysteresis loop in their resistance near room temperature. Notably, this hysteresis loop...
