本文识别出Cu上Nb薄膜的一种特征波纹状表面形貌，其介观特征尺寸与伦敦穿透深度和相干长度相当，并考察了该形貌对超导射频腔性能指标的影响。在伦敦模型框架下，针对一种代表性的波纹几何结构，计算了磁场增强因子和过热场抑制因子。结果表明，由缓冲化学抛光和电抛光Nb腔体得出的粗糙度趋势无法捕捉纳米级表面形貌对SRF Nb薄膜性能的影响，因为即使平均粗糙度较低的表面，也可能包含产生显著局部场增强并大幅抑制Bean-Livingston势垒的几何特征。本文还研究了表面粗糙度对杂质扩散的影响，揭示了表面积增加和局部几何约束在改变近表面杂质分布中的作用。通过追踪杂质扩散对磁场增强演变的影响，我们表明几何约束的杂质分布可以大幅缓解纳米级磁场增强。
英文摘要
A characteristic corrugated surface morphology of Nb films on Cu is identified, with mesoscopic features comparable to the London penetration depth and coherence length, and its impact on superconducting radio frequency cavity performance metrics is examined. Magnetic field enhancement factors and superheating field suppression factors are calculated within the London model for a representative corrugated geometry. These results demonstrate that roughness trends derived from buffered chemical polished and electropolished Nb cavities do not capture the impact of nanoscale surface morphology on SRF Nb thin film performance, as even surfaces that possess low average roughness can contain geometric features that generate substantial local field enhancement and significantly suppress the Bean Livingston barrier. The influence of surface roughness on impurity diffusion is also investigated, which highlights the roles of increased surface area and local geometric confinement in modifying near surface impurity distributions. Tracking the effect of impurity diffusion on the evolution of magnetic field enhancement, we show that geometrically confined impurity distributions can mitigate nanoscale magnetic field enhancement substantially.
