Abstract:
1. A method for making a radio frequency cavity device, the method comprising: providing a frame having an interior space and an inside surface, said inside surface bounding said interior space and being at least partially characterized by curvature; and adhering plural tiles to said frame, each said tile including a substrate and a superconductor coating upon said substrate, said adhering of each said tile including pressing said tile upon a portion of said inside surface, said adhering being performed so that said substrate adjoins a portion of said inside surface and so that said superconductor coating is exposed to said interior space; at least one said tile being a curvature-compatible tile, said curvature-compatible tile including a flexible said substrate, said adhering of each said curvature-compatible tile including bending said curvature-compatible tile, said adhering of each said curvature-compatible time being performed so that said substrate conformingly adjoins a said portion of said inside surface that is characterized by curvature, and so that said superconductor coating at least substantially retains its superconductor character; wherein said superconductor coating of the at least one said curvature-compatible tile is composed of magnesium diboride and is flexible to a radius of curvature of greater than or equal to 0.5 centimeters.
