	The performance of superconducting RF cavities made of bulk Nb is limited by a breakdown field of Bp=~200 mT, close to the superheating field for Nb. A potentially promising solution to enhance the breakdown field of the SRF cavities beyond the intrinsic limits of Nb is a multilayer coating suggested in [1]. In the simplest case, such a multilayer may be a superconductor-insulator-superconductor (S-I-S) coating, for example, bulk niobium (S) coated with a thin film of insulator (I) followed by a thin layer of another superconductor (S) which could be e.g. dirty niobium [2]. Here we report the first results of our measurements of field penetration in Nb thin films and Nb-AlN-Nb multilayer samples at 4.2 K using the magnetic field penetration facility designed, built and tested in ASTeC.

	Secondary electron emission is a limiting factor for a performance of many instruments ranging from small gauges and detectors to waveguides and charged particle accelerators. There have been several methods of reducing this effect, e.g. the method of using a material with a low Secondary Electron Yield (SEY) or thin film coating with such a low SEY material. This paper describes the effect of SEY mitigation with graphene coatings on aluminium substrate. The maximum SEY (dmax) was decreased from 2.4 for bare aluminium to 1.4 with a graphene coating. Measurements were taken using an electron gun and a Faraday cup, the electron energies varied between 80 eV and 1 keV with a bias of -18 V on the sample. Other biases of -3, -5, -9, -25, -50 and -75 V were also tested however there was no effect on the SEY.

	Funding: STFC Reduction of SEY was achieved by surface engineering through laser ablation with a laser operating at • = 355 nm. It was shown that the SEY can be reduced to near or below 1 on copper, aluminium and 316LN stainless steel. The laser treated surfaces show an increased surface resistance, with a wide variation in resistance found de-pending on the exact treatment details. However, a treated copper surface with similar surface resistance to aluminium was produced.

WEPMB056	CVD Deposition of Nb Based Materials for SRF Cavities	2241

	Bulk niobium cavities are widely employed in particle accelerators to create high accelerating gradient despite their high material and operation cost. Advancements in technology have taken bulk niobium close to its theoretical operational limits, pushing the research to explore novel materials, such as niobium based alloys. Nitrides of niobium offer such an alternative, exhibiting a higher Tc compared to bulk niobium. Replacing then the niobium with a material with better thermal conductivity, such as copper, coated with thin films of nitrides in a multilayer S-I-S would lead to improved performance at reduced cost. Physical vapour deposition (PVD) is currently used to produce these coatings, but it suffers from lack of conformity. This issue can be resolved by using chemical vapour deposition (CVD), which is able to produce high quality coatings over surfaces with a high aspect ratio. This project explores the use of CVD techniques to deposit NbN thin films starting from their chlorinated precursors. The samples obtained are characterized via SEM, FIB, XRD, and EDX.

	Cornell has developed a TE mode sample host microwave cavity in order to study large, flat samples of novel SRF materials. In recent calibration tests, the cavity was shown to reach peak magnetic fields on the sample plate of >100 mT and a quality factor Q₀ greater than 10¹⁰, making it a powerful system to study the performance of superconductors at high RF fields with nOhms sensitivity. In this report we present results of measurements of two samples of thin-film Nb deposited on Cu using HiPIMS at 500 C and at 800 C.

	In this work physical vapour deposition magnetron sputtering has been employed to deposit metallic thin films onto Cu, Mo and Si substrates. The use of metallic thin films offers several advantages: (i) metal photocathodes present a fast response time and a relative insensitivity to the vacuum environment (ii) metallic thin films when prepared and transferred in vacuum can offer smoother and cleaner cathode surfaces. The photocathodes developed here will ultimately be used to drive NCRF guns such as that used in VELA and the proposed CLARA light source test facility. The samples grown on Si substrates were used to investigate the morphology and thickness of the film. The samples grown onto Cu and Mo substrates were analysed and tested as photocathodes in a surface characterisation chamber, where X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy was employed to determine surface chemistry and a Kelvin probe apparatus used to determine work function. QE measurements were enabled using a 266 nm UV laser.
