Mo and Re films were produced by vacuum deposition on substrates cooled by liquid helium. The superconductive transition temperature T/sub c/ was studied as a function of film thickness and growth conditions. Formation of metastable phases with high T/sub c/ values, 16.7 and 8.5 degreeK for Re and Mo respectively, was observed. T/sub c/ as a function of film thickness for Re showed saturation in the region of the maximum thickness studied, while the Mo films showed a maximum in T/sub c/. It was concluded that the nature of the thickness dependence of T/sub c/ in superconductive films is determined by the strength of electron-phonon interaction in the equilibrium state. (AIP)
