Abstract
A sputtering technique is described in which a thin film superconductor is produced which exhibits a transition temperature in excess of the transition temperature of the bulk material. High gas pressures and low voltages are employed to produce Nb.sub.3 Ge exhibiting T.sub.c of 22.3.degree. K. The present invention was made in and during the course of work under DOD contract No. F 44-620-71-C-0045.
