Researchers Create Ultrathin Niobium-Phosphide Conductor for Nanoelectronics

Niobium phosphide can conduct electricity better than copper in films that are only a few atoms thick; moreover, these films can be created and deposited at sufficiently low temperatures to be compatible with modern computer chip fabrication, according to a team of scientists led by Stanford University.

A film a few atoms thick of non-crystalline niobium phosphide conducts better through the surface to make the material, as a whole, a better conductor. Image credit: Il-Kwon Oh / Asir Khan.
