| Title | Improving quench fields of enhanced-Tc surfaces |
| Authors |

| Abstract | The sensitivity of compound superconductors to gradient-limiting defects is well established. To overcome this challenge and develop recipes for enhanced-Tc surfaces that approach their fundamental limits, we take a multi-pronged theoretical approach: we identify material systems where low-Tc or normal-conducting defects are less likely to occur, where bulk superconducting properties favor proximity coupling of defects, and where clean interfaces with the niobium substrate allow for thinner films and better thermal stability. We present progress toward growing ultra-thin-film Nb-Zr and Nb3Al superconductors on niobium with the goal of achieving high quality factors at unprecedented fields. |
