| contents | The present study delves into exploring the impact of a thin protective layer of scandium nitride (ScN) on the superconductive properties of thin films of niobium nitride (NbN) generated through reactive magnetron deposition. This is the first time such an investigation has been carried out. The article offers a comprehensive investigation of the morphological, microstructural, and electrophysical features of thin films that have undergone high-temperature annealing in an oxygen-rich environment. The dependence of the critical transition temperature of the NbN thin film on the annealing temperature of the samples in an oxygen medium, with and without ScN coating, was determined. According to X-ray reflectometry studies, it has been observed that the ScN film serves as a protective layer, even when exposed to annealing temperatures of approximately 450°C, without significantly affecting the NbN layer density or thickness. It has been shown that adding a ScN coating to a thin NbN film increases its resistance to corrosive media compared to a film without the coating. |
