Topographic power spectral density study of the effect of surface treatment processes on niobium for superconducting radio frequency accelerator cavities
Microroughness is viewed as a critical issue for attaining optimum performance of superconducting radio frequency accelerator cavities. The principal surface smoothing methods are buffered chemical polish (BCP) and electropolish (EP). The resulting topography is characterized by atomic force microsc...
