Ternary (Bi Sb )Te films with an Sb content between 0 and 100% were deposited on a Si(1 1 1) substrate by means of molecular beam epitaxy. X-ray diffraction measurements confirm single crystal growth in all cases. The Sb content is determined by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.

In the symmetric junctions, a clear and pronounced Josephson supercurrent is observed. These samples also show clear signatures of subharmonic gap structures.

- The study examines the properties of palladium (Pd) and its alloys in thin films created through electroless plating from organic electrolytes on metal substrates.
- The resulting films are dense, with a thickness of 0.005-1 micrometers and show strong adhesion to surfaces.
- Different techniques were used to analyze the composition and structure of various Pd alloy systems, revealing that most have a solid solution structure while one (Pd-Pb) is an intermetallic compound, and the films consist of nanocrystalline grains ranging from 11-35 nm.
