Enhancement of lower critical field by reducing the thickness of epitaxial and polycrystalline MgB2 thin films

For potential applications in superconducting RF cavities, we have investigated the properties of polycrystalline MgB2 films, including the thickness dependence of the lower critical field Hc1. MgB2 thin films were fabricated by hybrid physical-chemical vapor deposition on (0001) SiC substrate eithe...
