We characterize composition and structure of ultrathin nickel silicide during formation from 3 nm Ni films on Si(100) using in-situ high resolution ion scattering and high resolution transmission electron microscopy. We show the transition…
Nb-doped SrTiO$_{3}$ epitaxial thin films have been prepared on (001) SrTiO$_{3}$ substrates using pulsed laser deposition. A high substrate temperature ($>1000^{\circ}{C}$) was found to be necessary to achieve 2-dimensional growth. Atomic…
Niobium nitride (NbN) is widely used in high-frequency superconducting electronics circuits because it has one of the highest superconducting transition temperatures ($T_c$ $\sim$ 16.5 K) and largest gap among conventional superconductors.…
V$_3$Si thin films are known to be superconducting with transition temperatures up to 15 K, depending on the annealing temperature and the properties of the substrate underneath. Here we investigate the film structural properties with the…
Scaling superconducting digital circuits requires fundamental changes in the current material set and fabrication process. The transition to 300 mm wafers and the implementation of advanced lithography are instrumental in facilitating…
Nb3Sn films were fabricated by multilayer sequential sputtering on Nb at substrate temperatures ranging from room temperature to 250 {\deg}C. The multilayers were then annealed inside a separate vacuum furnace at 950 {\deg}C for 3h. The…
Lithium niobate-on-insulator (LNOI) is an emerging photonic platform with high potential for scalable quantum information processing due to its strong second-order nonlinearity. However, little progress has been made in developing on-chip…
We report a study on the growth of NiBi3 nanowires and nanorods during the preparation of superconducting NiBi3 films by co-evaporation of Ni and Bi. We find that NiBi3 films grown via co-evaporation of Ni and Bi metals achieve higher…
Vanadium silicide (V$_3$Si) is a promising superconductor for integration with silicon-based electronics, however the interfacial growth kinetics have a strong influence on the resulting superconducting properties and are not yet fully…

Niobium is commonly used for superconducting quantum systems as readout resonators, capacitors, and interconnects. The coherence time of the superconducting qubits is mainly limited by microwave dissipation attributed to two-level system…
