A model for hot spots and Q-slope in granular Niobium thin film superconducting RF cavities
Aymeric Ramiere, Claire Z. Antoine, Jay Amrit
We propose a model to explain power dissipation leading to the formation of hot spots in the inner walls of niobium thin film superconducting RF cavities. The physical mechanism th…
Improvement and protection of niobium surface superconductivity by Atomic Layer Deposition and heat treatment
T. Proslier, J. Zasadzinski, J. Moore +6
A method to treat the surface of Nb is described which potentially can improve the performance of superconducting RF cavities. We present tunneling and x-ray photoemission spectros…
Tunneling study of cavity grade Nb: possible magnetic scattering at the surface
T. Proslier, J. F. Zasadzinski, L. Cooley +5
Tunneling spectroscopy was performed on Nb pieces prepared by the same processes used to etch and clean superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities. Air exposed, electropolished…
