Superconducting microwave cavities based on Nb3Sn electrolytic coatings

  • Published:
Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

We demonstrate that Nb3Sn coatings suitable for use in superconducting microwave devices can be produced by electrocodeposition of Nb and Sn. Superconducting cavities have been fabricated by electrodeposition in a galvanostatic mode using such coatings, and their performance has been evaluated.
