Two upper critical fields normal (Bc2⊥) and parallel (Bc2∥) to the surfaces of both single-crystal and polycrystalline Nb films are studied at 4.2 K in relation to the purity and morphology of the films, in order to make properties of the single-crystal films clear. High-quality single-crystal Nb films (with transition temperature Tc of ∼9.3 K and normal resistivity ρn of ∼0.2 μΩ · cm) are found to have magnetic properties characterized by Bc2⊥ of 0.31 T as low as Bc2 (bulk upper critical field) of bulk Nb, and Bc2∥/Bc2⊥ of ∼1.85 as high as Bc3/Bc2 (where Bc3 is the surface nucleation critical field) of pure Nb. These properties depend strongly on high purity and surface smoothness of the films, which is naturally accompanied by superconductivity. Polycrystalline Nb films have higher Bc2⊥ and lower Bc2∥/Bc2⊥, which result from a decrease in purity of the films and a presence of normal-conducting niobium-suboxide layers at the surfaces of the films, and thereby a decrease of the surface effect in the films.

Palladium single-crystal films have been prepared by Matthews in ultra-high vacuum by evaporation onto (001) NaCl substrates cleaved in-situ, and maintained at ∼ 350° C. Murr has also produced large-grained and single-crystal Pd films by high-rate evaporation onto (001) NaCl air-cleaved substrates at 350°C. In the present work, very large (∼ 3cm2), continuous single-crystal films of Pd have been prepared by flash evaporation onto air-cleaved (001) NaCl substrates at temperatures at or below 250°C. Evaporation rates estimated to be ≧ 2000 Å/sec, were obtained by effectively short-circuiting 1 mil tungsten evaporation boats in a self-regulating system which maintained an optimum load current of approximately 90 amperes; corresponding to a current density through the boat of ∼ 4 × 104 amperes/cm2.
