Superconducting Gap Engineering in Tantalum-Alloy-Based Resonators
Chen Yang, Faranak Bahrami, Guangming Cheng +7
Utilizing tantalum (Ta) in superconducting circuits has led to significant improvements, such as high qubit lifetimes and quality factors in both qubits and resonators, underscorin…
Vortex Motion Induced Losses in Tantalum Resonators
Faranak Bahrami, Matthew P. Bland, Nana Shumiya +17
Tantalum (Ta) based superconducting circuits have been demonstrated to enable record qubit coherence times and quality factors, motivating a careful study of the microscopic origin…
Co-doping Er plus V or Er plus Nb into CaWO4
Chen Yang, Robert J. Cava
Er3+ plus V5+, and Er3+ plus Nb5+ co-doped CaWO4, formulas Ca1-xErxW1-xMxO4, were synthesized in air by a conventional solid-state method. A color change from white to pink was obs…
The Er doping of ZnCr2O4
Chen Yang, Danrui Ni, Nan Yao +1
Magnetic Er3+ is doped into the well-studied frustrated normal spinel ZnCr2O4. Various spectroscopies are employed to prove that Er3+ successfully enters the spinel to form ZnCr2-x…
Stuffed Rare Earth Garnets
Chen Yang, Lun Jin, Weiwei Xie +1
We report the synthesis and magnetic characterization of stuffed rare earth gallium garnets, RE3+xGa5-xO12 (RE=Lu, Yb, Er, Dy, Gd), for x up to 0.5. The excess rare earth ions part…
