We report the effect of Co₂N impurity on the superconducting properties of δ-MoN thin films grown by polymer-assisted deposition on c-cut sapphire (Al₂O₃). The films show a superconducting transition temperature of 10.4 K and an upper critical field H_c2(0) perpendicular to the film surface around 3 T. The latter corresponds to a relatively large coherence length ξ, which enhances the two-dimensional limit when the magnetic field is applied parallel to the film surface. In comparison with pure δ-MoN films, the inclusion of Co₂N impurity in the δ-MoN films could significantly modify the critical current density at the vortex-free state. In conclusion, the ability to tune the superconducting properties of metal-nitride superconductors by introducing chemically and structurally compatible impurity may find potential applications for superconducting single-photon detectors.
