Theory of Eliminating Surface Oxides of Superconductors with Noble-Metal Encapsulation
Cristóbal Méndez, Nathan Sitaraman, Matthias Liepe +1
Nanometer-scale surface chemistry limits the performance of SRF cavities and quantum circuits. We present an ab initio framework connecting DFT interfacial energetics with strong-c…

electron-phonon coupling theory of elastic helium atom scattering
Cristóbal Méndez, C. J. Thompson, M. F. Van Duinen +2
We propose a fully approach to predicting thermal attenuation in elastic helium atom scattering amplitudes, validated through strong agreement with experimen…
