Ab initio theory of the impact of grain boundaries and substitutional defects on superconducting Nb3Sn

Michelle M. Kelley et al.

Summary: The study revealed that clean grain boundaries without point defects can reduce the Fermi-level density of states by a factor of two, with the effect decaying back to the bulk electronic structure at a distance of about 1-1.5 nm from the boundary. Different substitutional defects near the boundary have a significant impact on the density of states, with some materials only affecting sites away from the boundary core. The research also introduced a model for local superconducting transition temperature and examined how grain boundary composition affects T-c as a function of distance from the boundary plane.

Analysis of magnetic vortex dissipation in Sn-segregated boundaries in Nb3Sn superconducting RF cavities

Jared Carlson et al.

Summary: Our study investigates the mechanisms of vortex nucleation in Nb3Sn superconducting cavities, revealing Sn segregation at grain boundaries which may affect the local superconducting properties. Using ab initio calculations and time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau theory, simulations show that grain boundaries can act as both nucleation sites and pinning sites for vortices. We estimate the superconducting losses due to vortices filling grain boundaries and compare with experimental observations of cavity heating for performance evaluation.
