For the past five decades, bulk niobium (Nb) has been the material of choice for
superconducting RF (SRF) cavity applications. Alternatives such as Nb thin films and other …

The performance of superconducting resonators, particularly cavities for particle
accelerators and micro cavities and thin film resonators for quantum computations and …

An overview of a theory of electromagnetic response of superconductors in strong radio-
frequency (RF) electromagnetic fields is given with the emphasis on applications to …

We propose a theory of nonlinear surface resistance of a dirty superconductor in a strong
radio-frequency (rf) field, taking into account magnetic and nonmagnetic impurities, finite …

We calculate a low-frequency surface impedance of a dirty, s-wave superconductor with an
imperfect surface incorporating either a thin layer with a reduced pairing constant or a thin …

The theory of the superconductor–insulator–superconductor (SIS) multilayer structure for
application in superconducting accelerating cavities is reviewed. The theoretical field limit …

In superconductors, the motion of vortices introduces unwanted dissipation that is disruptive
to applications. Fortunately, material defects can immobilize vortices, acting as vortex …

We report depth-resolved measurements of the Meissner screening profile in several
surface-treated Nb samples using low-energy muon spin rotation. In these experiments …

It is shown that a multilayer comprised of alternating thin superconducting and insulating
layers on a thick substrate can fully screen the applied magnetic field exceeding the …

We investigate the effects of Dynes pair-breaking scattering rate Γ on the superfluid flow in a
narrow thin-film superconductor and a semi-infinite superconductor by self-consistently …
