Abstract |
The first experimental studies of zirconium-doped surfaces verified that zirconium can enhance the critical temperature of the surface, resulting in a lower BCS resistance than standard-recipe niobium. However, they also produced a disordered oxide layer, resulting in a higher residual resistance than standard-recipe niobium. Here, we show that zirconium-doped surfaces can grow well-behaved thin oxide layers, with a very thin ternary suboxide capped by a passivating ZrO2 surface. The elimination of niobium pentoxide may allow zirconium-doped surfaces to achieve low residual resistance.
