In the development of new superconducting materials for possible use in SRF-based accelerators, it is useful to work with small candidate samples rather than complete resonant cavities. The recently commissioned Jefferson Lab rf Surface Impedance Characterization (SIC) system* can presently characterize the central region of 50 mm diameter disk samples of various materials from 2 to 40 K exposed to RF magnetic fields up to 14 mT at 7.4 GHz. We report the measurement results from bulk Nb, thin film Nb on Cu and sapphire substrates, and thin film MgB₂ on sapphire substrate provided by colleagues at JLab and Temple University. We also report on efforts to extend the operating range to higher fields. * B.P. Xiao, et al., RSI, 2011. 82: p. 056104
