Decoupling of Nitrogen and Oxygen Impurities in Nitrogen Doped SRF Cavities

Conference ·
OSTI ID:2377377
The performance of superconducting radiofrequency (SRF) cavities is critical for enabling the next generation of efficient high-energy particle accelerators. Recent developments have focused on altering the surface impurity profile through \textit{in-situ} baking, furnace baking, and doping to introduce and diffuse beneficial impurities such as nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon. However, the precise role and properties of each impurity are not well understood. In this work, we attempt to disentangle the role of nitrogen and oxygen impurities through time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry using niobium cavity cutouts baked at temperatures varying from 120-800$$^\circ$$C with and without nitrogen injection. Understanding the underlying mechanisms behind these impurities will drive further optimization in the tailoring of nitrogen and oxygen profiles for high-performance SRF cavities.
