Enhancement of Superconductivity by Amorphizing Molybdenum Silicide Films Using a Focused Ion Beam

We have used focused ion beam irradiation to progressively cause defects in annealed molybdenum silicide thin films. Without the treatment, the films are superconducting with critical temperature of about 1 K. We observe that both resistivity and critical temperature increase as the ion dose is incr...
