Nb : l~50 nm => only a few 100s nm of SC necessary
(the remaining thickness= mechanical support only) => Make thin films !
Advantages
Thermal stability (substrate cavity = copper)CostInnovative materialsOptimization of RBCS possible
Disadvantages
Fabrication and surface preparation (at least) as difficult as for bulkSuperconductivity very sensitive to crystalline quality (lower in thin films for now)
2014-04-16 Claire Antoine Eucard2 WP12 Meeting @ Saclay | PAGE 4
WHY THIN FILMS ? 2 REASONS
Making cheaper cavities :
Bulk like Nb on copper (1-5 µm)
Overcoming Nb monopoly:
Nb3Sn, MgB2, Multilayers…
Advantages
Can also be deposited onto copperHigher Tc => higher Q0Higher HSH or HC1 => higher accelerating field
Disadvantages
Fabrication and surface preparation (at least) as difficult as for bulkSuperconductivity very sensitive to crystalline quality (lower in thin films for now)Deposition of innovative (compound) materials is very difficultTheoretical limit (HSH vs HC1) still controverted => choice of ideal material !?
Advantages
Structure /composition can be optimized with conventional techniquesIdeal structure and composition can be achieved on model sample (guide for deposition of cavities)Cost
Disadvantages
RF performances cannot be directly measuredSpecific measurement tools need to be developed (sample cavity, magnetometer…)Ultimately a cavity deposition set-up will be needed, but with a known aimed structure
2014-04-16 Claire Antoine Eucard2 WP12 Meeting @ Saclay | PAGE 5
THIN FILMS CHALLENGES: DEPENDS ON THE STRATEGY
Optimizing
structure/composition of the
films on samples
Optimizing deposition inside
cavities
Advantages
RF testing easy and gives direct performanceWork is done only once, direct cavity production
Disadvantages
Very heavy and lengthy, many parametersNeed to develop a specific cavity deposition set-upDifficult to optimize set-up and film togetherOptimization of the structure/composition of the film is difficult
STRUCTURE OF THE TASK 12.2 (EUCARD2)
Niobium on copper (µm)
After ~ 20 years stagnation : new revolutionary deposition techniques Great expectations in cost reduction No improved performances/ bulk Nb
Higher Tc material (µm)
Based on superheating model. Higher field and lower Q0 expected
Higher Tc material (nm), multilayer
Based on trapped vortices model (Gurevich) Higher field and lower Q0 expected Recent experimental evidences
Specific characterization tools needed
Better understanding of SRF physics needed

High-energy deposition techniques line of sight techniques issues: getting uniform thickness/structure limited in complex geometry
Thermal diffusion films limited compositions available non uniform composition
Chemical techniques CVD, ALD conformational even in complex shape very quick for large surfaces issues: get the proper crystalline structure

SRF LIMITS : BACK TO BASICS
2014-04-16 Claire Antoine Eucard2 WP12 Meeting @ Saclay | PAGE 16
Q0 (1/Thermal dissipations) depends on surface resistance … which depends on TcHigher Tc => higher Q0 => lower operation cost
Ultimate limit in Eacc: when the SC becomes dissipative! Transition : when T and/or B↑Vortices in RF highly dissipative => keep Meissner state
At w < 3 GHz: we are limited by BRF !!!
HC1Nb
= 180-190 mT
Cavities : Meissner State, no vortex please !!!
? HSH
SRF : HC1 VS HSH
Cavities : Meissner State, H~ HC1, J~JD (@ HC1), T~2-4 K
Coils : higher TC, butmixed state (low HC1) Generally low magnetic field
2014-04-16 Claire Antoine Eucard2 WP12 Meeting @ Saclay | PAGE
Reaching higher field (Eacc/BRF) => Reach superheating field (metastable Meissner state) : Nb3Sn, MgB2…=> Artificially enhance HC1 : Multilayers
Nb3Sn : RECENT BREAKTHROUGH

Is it a practical limitation ?NB : HSH is more easily observed :

FIELD SCREENING / THIN FIELD
Modified Model (Kubo, 2013)
T. Kubo @ SRF 2013
Made the calculation for exact boundaries condition
l, x : known bulk values (not necessary exact for thin films)
Applied to NbN, Nb3Sn, MgB2
Similar calculation also proposed by S. Posen for Nb3Sn only

OPTIMUM THICKNESS FOR SL ?
T. KuboSL/ML structures not effective for Nb3Sn
Contrary to simple model, very thin layers are not interestingOptimum thickness around 100 nm for NbN ?How does that compare with exp. Measurements ?
=> Series of SL with various thicknesses (50 nm to 150 nm) is needed

RESULTS FROM OTHER LABS
Compare with what is expected for bulk Nb : ~1300 Oe @ 4.5 K !

Alternating MgB2-insulator structures have been fabricated on sapphire substrate: 40 nm MgO as insulating layer, sputtered. MgB2 deposited by HPCVD ex situ. 150,
100, and 75 nm in thickness.
Tc near 40 K for 100 and 150 nm films. Lower for 75 nm film.
Multilayer films with thin MgB2 layers show higher HC1 than the 300 nm film even though the total thickness are the same.

[Tajima, SRF 2011]
Magnetic screening evidenced for ML4 up to 38 mT, at T~7K
Dramatic transition around 38 mT => rcoil << rsample not valid anymore ?
Magnetometer is effective up to 1500 mA (equivalent field 150 mT) Tp° 2-40 K
Use of larger samples/smaller coil is mandatory

THERMAL ANALYSIS
Strong indication that RBCS is improved with MLCould probably be improved with the use of thicker layers (complete screening)Rres is higher for ML than for Nb, but strongly influenced by substrate ?Very promising preliminary results

CONCLUSIONS AND PERSPECTIVES
Renewed activity on bulk-like Nb films (cost issues) and high HSH SC e.g. Nb3Sn or NbN (higher performances)
ML structures seem to be a promising way to go beyond Nb for accelerator cavities
Look for higher Q0, not only Eacc !
WE ARE ON THE EVE OF A TECHNOLOGICAL REVOLUTION FOR SRF CAVITIES !
Few labs involved
EUCARD 2 : only large scale program in Europe in this domain, big opportunity
