Field dependent surface resistance of niobium on copper cavities
@article{Junginger2014FieldDS, title={Field dependent surface resistance of niobium on copper cavities}, author={Tobias Junginger}, journal={Physical Review Special Topics-accelerators and Beams}, year={2014}, volume={18}, pages={072001} }
The surface resistance ${R}_{\mathrm{S}}$ of superconducting cavities prepared by sputter coating a niobium film on a copper substrate increases significantly stronger with the applied rf field compared to cavities of bulk material. A possible cause is that the thermal boundary resistance between the copper substrate and the niobium film induces heating of the inner cavity wall, resulting in a higher ${R}_{\mathrm{S}}$. Introducing helium gas in the cavity, and measuring its pressure as a…
