Multi-mode Analysis of Surface Losses in a Superconducting Microwave Resonator in High Magnetic Fields

This paper reports on a surface impedance measurement of a niobium titanium superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavity in a magnetic field (up to $10\,{\rm T}$). A novel method is employed to decompose the surface resistance contributions of the cylindrical cavity end caps and walls using measurements from multiple $TM$ cavity modes. The results confirm that quality factor degradation of a NbTi SRF cavity in a high magnetic field is primarily from surfaces perpendicular to the field (the cavity end caps), while parallel surface resistances (the walls) remain relatively constant. This result is encouraging for applications needing high Q cavities in strong magnetic fields, such as the Axion Dark Matter eXperiment (ADMX), because it opens the possibility of hybrid SRF cavity construction to replace conventional copper cavities.

First Principles Density Functional Theory and NMR Study of Catalytic Adsorption and Formation of Mo/HZSM-5-based Microwave Catalysts

This work is a summary of atomic level catalyst design on a Mo/HZSM-5 zeolite catalyst to determine the formation of Mo carbide species during exposure of CO and CH4. We also look at specific features of the activated form of the catalyst including charge distributions, bond orders, and polarizations that might be susceptible during MW irradiation.

Methods and systems for microwave assisted production of graphitic materials

Systems and methods for plasma based synthesis of graphitic materials. The system includes a plasma forming zone configured to generate a plasma from radio-frequency radiation, an interface element configured to transmit the plasma from the plasma forming zone to a reaction zone, and the reaction zone configured to receive the plasma. The reaction zone is further configured to receive feedstock material comprising a carbon containing species, and convert the feedstock material to a product comprising the graphitic materials in presence of the plasma.
