Improving the qubit's lifetime (T1) is crucial for fault-tolerant quantum computing. Recent advancements have shown that replacing niobium (Nb) with tantalum (Ta) as base metal significantly increases T1, likely due to a less lossy native surface oxide. However, understanding formation mechanism and nature of both oxides still limited. Using aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy energy loss spectroscopy, we found Ta oxide has fewer suboxides than Nb We observed an abrupt...
An improved understanding of the oxidation resistance HfC-TaC ultra-high temperature ceramics (UHTCs) is developed through modeling phase equilibria in Hf-Ta-O system and HfO2-Ta2O5 isoplethal section. CALculation PHAse Diagrams (CALPHAD) thermodynamic models systems are conjunction with experimental data from literature first-principles calculations. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations accurately describe properties binary oxides predict cation disorder Hf(n-5)/2Ta2On. The ternary...
Progressive meningeal and disseminated cryptococcosis can be obtained in normal immunodepressed guinea-pigs infected intravenously with an inoculum of <i>Cryptococcus neoformans, </i>200 CFU/g body weight. Oral parenteral treatment once daily for 35 days was started 3 after infection. The animals were treated oral or itraconazole fluconazole, 5 10 mg/kg, alone combination, mg/kg + itraconazole, combined flucytosine, 40 amphotericin B, 0.63, 1.25, 2.5 mg/kg. Evaluation based on behaviour,...
