The onset of high field Q-slope (HFQS) around 25 MV/m prevents cavities in electropolished (EP) condition from reaching high quality factors at high gradients due to the precipitation of niobium hydrides during cooldown. These hydrides are…

Nitrogen doping study on niobium (Nb) samples used for the fabrication of the superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities has been carried out. The samples' surface treatment was attempted to replicate that of the SRF cavities, which…
In this letter, we present the frequency dependence of the vortex surface resistance of bulk niobium accelerating cavities as a function of different state-of-the-art surface treatments. Higher flux surface resistance per amount of trapped…
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 that we explore is due to the constriction of surface…
Self-rewetting fluids (SRFs), such as long-chain aqueous alcohols, are a special class of liquids with surface tension that is anomalously dependent quadratically on temperature, resulting in thermocapillary flows that differ significantly…
Buffered Chemical Polishing (BCP) was the most conventional polishing method for superconducting radio frequency (SRF) Niobium (Nb) cavity surface preparation before the discovery of Electropolishing (EP), which is superior to BCP in high…

The performance of superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) cavities is sometimes limited by local defects. To investigate the RF properties of these local defects, especially those that nucleate RF magnetic vortices, a near-field magnetic…
Bulk niobium is the material mostly used in RF superconducting cavities for accelerator. Predicting and reducing the surface dissipation in RF is mandatory, since it has a tremendous cost impact on most of the large accelerator projects.…
The radio-frequency surface resistance of niobium resonators is incredibly reduced when nitrogen impurities are dissolved as interstitial in the material, conferring ultra-high Q-factors at medium values of accelerating field. This effect…
