Commissioning of a two-target DC cylindrical magnetron sputter coater for depositing Nb 3 Sn film on Nb superconducting radiofrequency cavities

A DC cylindrical magnetron sputter coater was commissioned and used to coat Nb 2.6 GHz superconducting radiofrequency (SRF) cavity with Nb 3 Sn. The sputter coater has two identical cylindrical magnetrons that can move, with a controlled speed, along the axis of the SRF cavity to coat the inside surface of the cavity. The design of the sputter coater is discussed, along with its performance. Initially, a sample holder that allows coating on flat substrates at positions similar to the equator and beam tubes of a 2.6 GHz SRF cavity was used to test conditions for fabricating Nb 3 Sn layers. Multilayers of Nb and Sn were sequentially sputtered on flat Nb and sapphire substrates mounted on the equivalent positions of the cavity's beam tubes and the equator using the two identical cylindrical magnetrons. Then, the Nb/Sn multilayers were annealed at 950 °C for 3 h. Here, the ~1.2 μm thick Nb 3 Sn film did not show any other Nb–Sn compounds and had a superconducting transition temperature of 17.61–17.76 K. The 2.6 GHz SRF cavity was coated using similar conditions as flat samples. Cryogenic RF testing of the Nb 3 Sn-coated cavity demonstrated a quality factor of 3.2 × 10 8 at an accelerating gradient of 5 MV/m at 4.4 K.

Production of High Specific Activity 72 Se/ 72 As, 117m Sn and 203 Pb for Research and Clinical Applications: Effective target design, recycling of target material and radioisotope separation

This grant involved four objectives for producing high specific activity radionuclides using reactor and accelerator technologies that would find use in medical, industrial and research applications. This grant continued a collaboration between the scientists at the University of Washington (UW), the University of Missouri (MU) and Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) and addresses the need for high specific activity radionuclides, both reactor- and accelerator-produced, and for the training and education of radiochemists in isotope production, separations and precursor syntheses. All three institutions were involved in the projects, but to different degrees. The chemistry graduate students (Ph.D. program at MU) may have participated in an internship at one of the other institutions for training and project translation/facilitation.
