title: Aligned carbon nanotubes sandwiched in epitaxial NbC film for enhanced superconductivity.
abstract: Highly aligned carbon nanotube (CNT) ribbons were sandwiched in epitaxial superconducting NbC films by a chemical solution deposition method. The incorporation of aligned long CNTs into NbC film enhances the normal-state conductivity and improves the superconducting properties of the assembly.
