RF dissipation due to trapped vortices Alex Gurevich Dept. Physics and Center for Accelerator Science, Old Dominion University, Norfolk, VA 2015 TESLA Meeting, SLAC, Dec. 2, 2015.

Motivation Trapped vortices can produce significant RF power in hotspots, contributing to the residual surface resistance. The problem of getting rid of trapped vortices. Screening the Earth magnetic field and reducing thermoelectric currents. Moving and breaking vortex hotspots into pieces by scanning laser beams and external heaters (Ciovati and Gurevich, Phys. Rev. ST-AB 11, 122001 (2008); Gurevich and Ciovati, Phys Rev. B 87, 054502 (2013). Increasing Q by flushing some of trapped vortices out by strong temperature gradients during the cavity cooldown through Tc Romanenko et al, APL 105, 234103 (2014), J. Appl. Phys. 115, 184903 (2014); Vogt, Kugeler and Knobloch, Phys. Rev. ST-AB 16, 102002 (2013); 18, 042001 (2015). How much vortex dissipation can be tolerated? Theory of rf dissipation and residual surface resistance produced by oscillating flexible vortex lines. Gurevich and Ciovati, Phys Rev. B 77, 104501 (2008); 87, 054502 (2013) Intricate dependencies of the vortex residual resistance on frequency, pin spacing and the mean free path. Optimization of Ri RF nonlinearities and thermal instabilities ignited by vortex bundles

Why are vortices so deadly for SRF? x Ba(t) B(x) L Suppose that Hc1 = 0, then we have the Bean critical state of pinned vortices parallel to the surface with the flux gradient equal to the critical current density Jc: Bean flux penetration depth L = Ba(t)/μ0Jc is orders of magnitude greater than the London λ = 30-40 nm Remagnetization hysteretic losses can be orders of magnitude higher than Ohmic losses in Cu: Flux surface resistance is linear in Ba, independent of resistivity and can be decreased by stronger pinning, BUT: For Nb at f = 2GHz, and Jc = 108 A/m2, we get Ri = 0.27 Ohm at Ba = 20 mT ! Surface fraction of vortices α < 10-7

Detection of trapped vortices? In films vortices are observed using scanning SQUID (J. Kirtley, Rep. Prog. Phys. 73, 126501 (2010)), MO imaging, Hall probe, STM, MF or Lorentz microscopy, … Hotspots in Nb cavities revealed by temperature maps with the sensitivity of a few mK and spatial resolution of a few mm (Knobloch, Padamsee, Giovati et al) hotspots But how do we know that hotspots are caused by trapped vortices but not surface materials defects (metallic suboxide islands, arrays of hydeides, etc)

Pushing vortices by thermal gradients Thermal force acting on the vortex: Critical gradient to unpin vortices: For Nb with Bc1 = 0.17 T, Jc = 1kA/cm2 and T = 2K: |dT/dx| = 1.6 K/mm A. Gurevich, 13-th SRF Conference, Beijing, 2007 Except for closed semi-loops at the surface, line vortices disappear only if they are pushed all the way to the orifice Topological problem Laser beam mostly redistributes vortices over the surface Ciovati and Gurevich, Phys. Rev. ST-AB 11, 122001 (2008)

How do trapped vortices appear? RF field Nb H(t) λ London penetration depth of superconducting rf currents ≈ 40 nm << d = 3mm Cooldown in field from T > Tc to 2K Trapped appear during cooling through Tc due to any stray magnetic fields Trapped vortices spaced by a = (φ0/HE)1/2 = 6-7 μm due to the Earth magnetic field produce the RF dissipation 2-3 orders of magnitude higher than the exponentially small BCS contribution in Nb at 2K. Even good screening (only 1% of HE is allowed in accelerating cavities) cannot eliminate trapped vortices because of the large demag factor of cavities.

Laser scanning the inner cavity surface G. Ciovati et al. Rev. Sci Instr. 83, 034704 (2012) Push trapped vortices with the laser beam (high-power LTLSM mode, Λ = 532 nm) Beam power can be varied from 3mW to 10 W, and the beam diameter from 0.9 to 3mm Measurements of thermal maps with the rf power and the scanning beam on If laser scanning changes thermal maps, the hotspots can only be due to vortices but not fixed materials defects superfluid He, @ 2K

Experiment before LH after LH Laser scanning does change temperature maps Laser scanning does not eliminate hotspots but rather move them around and break in smaller pieces

Pinning of vortices in Nb Typical Jc = 1-10 kA/cm2 in clean Nb are some 4-6 orders of magnitude lower than the depairing current density Jc = Hc/λ, = 600 MA/cm2, indicating weak pinning: 2 λ l H(t)  Randomly distributed pinning nanoprecipitates spaced by L >> the vorttex core diameter 2ξ = 30-80 nm Randomly distributed Impurities with the m.f.p. which can be either smaller of greater than 2ξ. Generally, there is no direct correlation between the m.f.p. and the pin spacing Coalescence or appearance of pins during heat treatment changes both the pin spacing and the impurity concentration    λ                         

General expression for low-field RF power Anisotropy increases P at low and intermediate ω but does not affect P(∞) For a long vortex segment l > λ, P(ω) becomes:

Characteristic frequency ranges Low frequencies ω << ωl Entire vortex segment swings Intermediate frequencies ωλ << ω << ωl Only the vortex tail of length L(f) >> λ swings High frequencies ω >> ωλ Only the vortex tip of length λ swings RF power is independent of the pin spacing For clean Nb, fl becomes smaller than 2 GHz for the pin spacing > 150-200 nm For clean Nb, fλ ≈ 40 GHz, but it decreases rapidly with the m.f.p. in the dirty limit: RF power depends on the pinned segment length

RF power P/P 1/2 2 /  << l Low frequencies. Entire vortex segment swings  << l  >  / 1/2 2 P/P P decreases strongly as the pin spacing l decreases Intermediate . No dependence on the pin spacing High . P  0.13 W at B = 100 mT and 2 GHz. Hotspots revealed by thermal maps require regions  few mm with  106 vortices No dependence on the pin spacing

More frequency dependencies

Dependencies of P on the pinned length For random distribution of pins, P should be averaged over pin spacings Here F(l) is the distribution function of pin spacings:

Dependencies of P on the mean free path Assume that heat treatments only affect the m.f.p. but not the spacing between pinning nanoprecipitates Dependence of P on pin spacing intertwined with the m.f.p. does not allow to describe the behavoior of Ri in terms of m.f.p. only Distribution of pin spacings also plays a role

Residual resistance due to trapped vortices For Nb with n = 10-9 m, Bc = 200 mT, the observed Ri = 5 n at 2GHz can be produced by the residual field B0  0.3 T much smaller than the Earth field BE = 20-60 T. Vortex hotspots contribute to the field dependence of Q(H) Vortex hotspots can ignite thermal instability and lateral quench propagation Field dependent Ri due to thermal feedback controlled by thermal conductivity κ and the Kapitza thermal conductance αK between the film and the substrate/coolant Thermal feedback makes Ri(H) interconnected with RBCS and causes thermal instability at the rf field at which the denominator goes to zero

Vortex RF nonlinearities At H = Hc, the velocity of Cooper pairs reaches the critical pairbreaking value vc = /pF . Meissner current density Jd ≈ Hc/λ is 104 times higher than the pinning Jc  0.1 MA/cm2 in Nb How fast could the vortex tip move? This yields v = 10 km/s, which exceeds both the speed of sound and vc = /pF = 1 km/s Linear Bardeen-Stephen vortex dynamics fails. Larkin-Ovchinnikov and/or thermal instabilities Vortex jumps at v > v0  0.1 km/s as was measured on Nb films

Vortex lighter Meissner state at strong rf fields is thermally metastable as the rf power P(T) increases with T much faster than the Kapitza heat transfer W(T): Uniform heat balance P(T) = W(T) becomes impossible above the thermal breakdown field: for Ri < R0 = RBCS(T0). Weak vortex hotspots at low fields can ignite local thermal instability and lateral propagation of hot normal phase at high fields H < Hb

Conclusions Trapped mesoscopic vortex bundles can produce the main contribution to the residual surface resistance at low temperatures Temperature mapping combined with the laser scanning technique allows us to identify vortex hotspots in superconducting cavities, move vortex bundles around and break them into smaller pieces. Typical vortex bundles revealed by reconstruction of hotspots from temperature maps have 106 vortices spread over regions from few mm to few cm. Theory of dissipation of oscillating flexible vortex lines driven by the rf Meissner currents gives a complicated dependence of P on ω, pin spacing and m.f.p. The observed residual resistance Ri = 2-5 nOhm can be produced by low vortex density corresponding to B0  0.1-0.3 T much smaller than the Earth field BE = 20-60 T. Trapped vortices can cause microwave nonlinearities and ignite thermal instabilities
