  Atomic Layer Deposition is a process that synthesizes materials in successive monolayers, at rates on the order of 1 micron/hour. We have been using this technique at Argonne as a possible way to improve both superconducting rf (SCRF) and normal rf structure performance. Initial experiments have led to a new model of high field Q-slope and new ways of controlling SCRF surfaces, as well as suggesting ways to significantly improve the operating gradients of both superconducting and normal structures. We have also been testing this technique in superconducting structures. Initial measurements show significant improvement over “cavity-grade” Nb samples.
