Insight into SRF cavity performance from simulations of Nb's surface oxide dissolution and diffusion

We report simulations of the dissolution and diffusion of Nb's surface oxide layer in vacuum.

We report simulations of the dissolution and diffusion of Nb's surface oxide layer in vacuum. While this chemical doping process is important for the surface preparation of Nb superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities - common components of particle accelerators -…
