Abstract
In this paper low energy electron diffraction (LEED) and Auger spectroscopy measurements on Nb surfaces are described and the results are related to some of the problems encountered in the design of superconducting rf cavities. Possible protective coverings for the Nb surfaces that are used in these cavities are discussed, and experiments on one type of covering, i.e., thin layers of Nb 3 Sn grown on Nb, are described. Finally, experiments on “amorphous” transition metal films are presented and the results of the measurements are discussed in the context of LEED measurements of θD at the niobium surface.Keywords
