  • Publication number: 20240164222
    Abstract: Provided is a niobium-zirconium (Nb—Zr) alloy comprising an ordered body-centered cubic (bcc) ?-Nb—Zr phase, methods for making the same, a superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) cavity surface comprising the Nb—Zr alloy, a particle accelerator wherein an SRF cavity comprising the Nb—Zr alloy, a superconductor-insulator-superconductor tunnel junction (SIS) wherein a first superconductor/electrode and the second superconductor/electrode comprise the Nb—Zr alloy, and a quantum computer or quantum computing device comprising an SRF cavity or a resonator wherein at least a portion of at least one surface of the SRF cavity or resonator comprising the Nb—Zr alloy. The Nb—Zr alloy, e.g., produced under ambient conditions, comprises less than or equal to 50 at. % Zr and yields critical temperatures up to, e.g., 16.5 K.
