  Nb3Sn is a very promising material for use in SRF cavity applications, potentially offering significant improvements in quality factor and energy gradient compared to niobium. In order to better understand how to optimize this material for SRF applications, Nb3Sn samples were prepared at Cornell via vapor deposition, using varying parameters in the coating process. Microscopic studies were performed with SEM/EDX, and studies were performed on bulk samples to measure secondary electron yield, energy gap, and upper critical magnetic field. The results are presented here, with discussion for how they might point the way towards reaching even higher fields in Nb3Sn cavities.
