Tantalum thin films sputtered on unheated silicon substrates are characterized with microwaves at around 10 GHz in a 10 mK environment. We show that the phase of tantalum with a body-centered cubic lattice (α-Ta) can be grown selectively by depositing a niobium buffer layer prior to a tantalum film.The physical properties of the …

Abstract. We present a novel transmon qubit fabrication technique that yields systematic improvements in T1 coherence times. In this study, the devices are fabricated using a novel encapsulation strategy that involves passivating the surface of niobium and thereby preventing the formation of its lossy surface oxide.

Niobium and tantalum are transition metals that are almost always found together in nature because they have very similar physical and chemical properties. Their properties of hardness, conductivity, and resistance to corrosion largely determine their primary uses today. The leading use of niobium (about 75 percent) is in the production …

Ligand exchange reactions of the type given in eqn. (1) with niobium (V) and tantalum (V) chlorides or bromides and a range of ligands, have been studied at high pressure using Fourier Transform *H NMR spectroscopy. From these studies, the volume of activation has been shown to be negative when the ligand (L) is MeaS, MeaSe or MezTe.
