Title A Facility for Magnetic Field Penetration Measurements on Multilayer S-I-S Structures
Contributors
Abstract Superconducting RF cavities made of bulk Nb has reached a breakdown field of about 200 mT which is close to the superheating field for Nb. As it was theoretically shown* a multilayer coating can be used to enhance the breakdown field of SRF cavities. The simple example is a superconductor-insulator-superconductor (S-I-S), for example bulk niobium (S) coated with a thin film of insulator (I) followed by a thin layer of a superconductor (S) which could be a dirty niobium**. To verify such an enhancement in a presence of a DC magnetic field at 4.2 K a simple experimental facility was designed, built and tested in ASTeC. The details of experimental setup and results of the measurements will be shown at the conference.
