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 …

A multilayered structure with a single superconductor layer and a single insulator layer
formed on a bulk superconductor is studied. General formulae for the vortex-penetration field …

Superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) resonator cavities provide extremely high quality
factors> 1010 at 1–2 GHz and 2 K in large linear accelerators of high-energy particles. The …

In recent years, renewed interest has been given to alternatives to bulk Nb for use in
superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities. Much of this research has involved the use …

Superconducting radiofrequency (SRF) cavities for accelerators is the only superconductivity
application that operates in the Meissner state. For decades, bulk niobium, which exhibits …
