Abstract
Superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) devices have extremely high quality factors which makes them ideal for applications in particle detection, in quantum computing, and in particle accelerators. From a fundamental standpoint, SRF cavities for particle accelerators are a particularly interesting use case because both high quality factor and high electromagnetic field amplitude are necessary. I use density-functional theory to build a better understanding of superconducting surface behavior under extreme conditions, to develop new recipes for higher quality factors and higher fields, and to study novel materials for SRF applications. I begin with my research on niobium, the gold-standard material for cavities and other SRF applications, focusing on the properties of niobium hydride defects and
