Model identifies capping layers that may limit niobium oxide formation
What the study found A predictive framework was developed to select metal capping layers that inhibit niobium oxide formation, which is associated with two-level systems that degrade niobium-based superconducting quantum computing devices. The authors report that their model identified Zr, Hf, and Ta as effective diffusion barriers, and that Zr, Ta, and Sc were especially…
