Niobium nitride (NbN) Use and Manufacturing

Uses

Niobium nitride (NbN) thin films were noticed at an early stage because of their critical transition temperatures as low as 16-17K which could find wide applications in superconducting microelectronics. Because of its complicated phase diagram, NbN is difficult to prepare in the pure face-centered cubic, rocksalt structure.
