摘要:

我们提出了一个分析的Nb3Sn表面层上生长的大块铌(Nb)的试样制备在同一时间,并通过相同的气相扩散过程中用于使Nb3Sn涂层上1.3 GHz的腔。超导谱显示出在表面有一个发展良好的、均匀的超导态密度,带隙值分布集中在2.7 meV附近,超导临界温度(Tc)高达16.3 K。在样品表面区域的截面上进行的扫描电子显微镜(STEM)显示2微米厚的Nb3Sn表面层。的元素组成图表现出的Nb Sn比为3,并揭示了掩埋的亚化学计量区域,具有比f 5的存在。同步辐射X射线衍射实验表明,多晶Nb3Sn膜,并确认存在的Nb丰富的区域,占据约三分之一的涂层体积。这些低Tc区域可以发挥重要的作用,在RF测试过程中发生的Nb3Sn涂层腔的耗散机制,并开辟了一条道路,为进一步提高一个非常有前途的替代纯Nb腔的粒子加速器。

英文摘要:

We present an analysis of the Nb3Sn surface layers grown on a bulk niobium (Nb) coupon prepared at the same time and by the same vapor diffusion process used to make Nb3Sn coatings on 1.3 GHz cavities. Tunneling spectroscopy reveals a well-developed, homogeneous superconducting density of states at the surface with a gap value distribution centered around 2.7 meV and superconducting critical temperature (Tc) up to 16.3 K. Scanning Electron microscopy (STEM) performed on cross section of the sample's surface region shows a 2 microns thick Nb3Sn surface layer. The elemental composition map exhibits a Nb over Sn ratio of 3 and reveals the presence of buried sub-stoichiometric regions that have a ratio f 5. Synchrotron x-ray diffraction experiments indicate a polycrystalline Nb3Sn film and confirm the presence of Nb rich regions that occupy about a third of the coating volume. These low Tc regions could play an important role in the dissipation mechanism occurring during RF tests of Nb3Sn-coated cavities and open the way for further improving a very promising alternative to pure Nb cavities for particle accelerators.
