Muon spin rotation studies of niobium for superconducting rf applications

In this work we investigate superconducting properties of niobium samples via application of the muon spin rotation/relaxation (μSR) technique. We employ for the first time the μSR technique to study samples that are cut out from large and small grain 1.5 GHz radio frequency (rf) single cell niobium...
