Commonly chosen materials include Mo/Au, Mo/Cu, Ti/Au, and Ti/Al systems. Here in this work, titanium/indium（Ti/In） bilayer superconducting films are successfully fabricated on SiO2/Si（001）substrates by molecular beam epitaxy（MBE）. The success in the epitaxial growth of indium on titanium is achieved by lowering the substrate temperature to-150？C during indium evaporation. We measure the critical temperature under a bias current of 10 μA, and obtain different superconducting transition temperatures ranging from 645 m K to 2.7 K by adjusting the thickness ratio of Ti/In. Our results demonstrate that the transition temperature decreases as the thickness ratio of Ti/In increases.展开更多
