First-principles calculations of niobium hydride formation in superconducting radio-frequency cavities

Journal Article Ford, Denise C. ; Cooley, Lance D. ; Seidman, David N. - Superconductor Science and Technology

Niobium hydride is suspected to be a major contributor to degradation of the quality factor of niobium superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) cavities. In this study, we connect the fundamental properties of hydrogen in niobium to SRF cavity performance and processing. We modeled several of the niobium hydride phases relevant to SRF cavities and present their thermodynamic, electronic, and geometric properties determined from calculations based on density-functional theory. We find that the absorption of hydrogen from the gas phase into niobium is exothermic and hydrogen becomes somewhat anionic. The absorption of hydrogen by niobium lattice vacancies is strongly preferred over absorption intomore »« less

First Direct Observation of Nanometer size Hydride Precipitations on Superconducting Niobium

Journal Article Sung, Zu Hawn ; Cano, Arely ; Murthy, Akshay ; ... - TBD

Superconducting niobium serves as a key enabling material for superconducting radio frequency (SRF) technology as well as quantum computing devices. At room temperature, hydrogen commonly occupies tetragonal sites in the Nb lattice as metal (M)-gas (H) phase. When the temperature is decreased, however, solid solution of Nb-H starts to be precipitated. In this study, we show the first identified topographical features associated with nanometer-size hydride phase (Nb1-xHx) precipitates on metallic superconducting niobium using cryogenic-atomic force microscopy (AFM). Further, high energy grazing incidence X-ray diffraction reveals information regarding the structure and stoichiometry that these precipitates exhibit. Finally, through time-of-flight secondary ionmore »« less

Direct observation of dislocation structure evolution in SRF cavity niobium using electron channeling contrast imaging

Journal Article Wang, M. ; Kang, D. ; Bieler, T. R. - Journal of Applied Physics

Two major goals of superconducting radio frequency cavity research and development are achieving higher accelerating gradient and gaining the highest quality factor, a measure of efficiency. However, the consistent improvement of these performance metrics is restricted by many factors, one of which is microstructural defects, such as dislocation substructures within the material. In this work, dislocation evolution is compared in four samples extracted from a 2.8 mm thick large-grain niobium slice, with tensile axes chosen to generate specific dislocation structures during subsequent deformation. The four samples are (1) as-extracted, (2) extracted and annealed, (3) extracted and then deformed to 40%more »« less
