Niobium-3 Tin (NbSn) is the most promising alternative material for next-generation SRF cavities. The material can obtain high quality factors (> 1010) at 4.2 K and could theoretically support ~ 96 MV/m operation of a TESLA elliptical style cavity. Current Nb3Sn cavities made at Cornell University achieve high quality factors but are limited to about 17 MV/m in CW operation due to the presence of a surface defect. Here we examine recent results on studying the quench mechanism and propose that surface roughness is a major limiter for accelerating gradients. Furthermore, we discuss recent work on reducing the surface roughness including chemical polishing, modification of material growth, and tin electroplating. | ||

WEPLM60 | Fast Sn-Ion Transport on Nb Surface for Generating NbxSn Thin Films and XPS Depth Profiling | 727 |

Funding: U.S. National Science Foundation under Award PHY-1549132, the Center for Bright Beams In this work, we propose and demonstrate a fast and facile approach for NbxSn thin film deposition through the ion exchange reaction. By simply dipping a tin precursor on the Nb substrate surface, a ~600 nm thin film is generated due to the electronegativity differ-ence between Sn and Nb. Through X-ray photoelec-tron spectroscopy (XPS) depth profiling, the composi-tional information as a function of film thickness was obtained. Results showed a Sn layer on the film sur-face, Sn-rich and Nb-rich NbxSn layers as the majority of the film, and a ~60 nm Nb3Sn layer at the film/substrate interface. Quantitative analysis con-firmed stoichiometric Nb/Sn ratio for the Nb3Sn layer. This deposition method is demonstrated to be an alter-native choice for Nb3Sn film growth. |
