Abstract
The technique of preparing metallic superlattices by sputtering is described as are the results of a calculation of the energy distribution of sputtered atoms. Structural studies by X-ray diffraction, Ion Mill Auger Electron Spectroscopy and Ion Mill Ion Scattering Spectroscopy all indicate well defined layer structure for the Nb/Cu system. The resistivity of Nb/Cu and Nb/Ti and the superconductivity of Nb/Cu are all found to be dependent upon the layered nature of the material.
