Oxide formation in superconducting TaN thin films is analyzed through experimental
measurements and computational simulations. TaN was synthesized in an ultrahigh vacuum …

Superconducting nanofilms are tunable systems that can host a 3D–2D dimensional
crossover leading to the Berezinskii–Kosterlitz–Thouless (BKT) superconducting transition …

Microwave loss in niobium metallic structures used for superconducting quantum circuits is
limited by a native surface oxide layer formed over a timescale of minutes when exposed to …

In order to develop design rules for novel nitride-based coatings, we investigate trends in
thermodynamic, structural, elastic, and electronic properties of Mo 1− x Ta x N single-phase …

We report on the development and characterization of superconducting damascene
tantalum nitride (TaN) nanowires, 100 nm–3 μ m wide, with TaN thicknesses varying from 5 …

Here we report a novel nitridation technique for transforming niobium into hexagonal Nb2N
which appears to be superconducting below 1K. The nitridation is achieved by high …

Low-dimensional systems exhibit unique properties that have attracted considerable
attention during the last few decades. Notably, the fabrication of low-dimensional systems …

A superconductor–metal transition (SMT) with an unconventional diverging dynamic critical
exponent was recently discovered, and it drew tremendous attention because this signature …

We systematically investigated the low-temperature transport properties of two series of NbN
epitaxial films. The first series of films with thickness ranging from∼ 2.0 to∼ 4.0 nm are two …

In this manuscript, we show through an experimental-computational proof of concept the
native oxide formation into superconducting TaN films. First, TaN was synthesized at an ultra …
