Advanced Topographic Characterization of Variously Prepared Niobium Surfaces and Linkage to RF Losses
Superconducting radio frequency (SRF) technology is widely adopted in particle accelerators. The shallow penetration (∼ 40 nm) of the RF into superconducting niobium lends great importance to SRF cavity interior surface chemistry and topography. These in turn are strongly influenced by the chemical...
