(1–7) were synthesized by reacting aromatic
dipyrazole ligands (H2L1–H2L3 with pyromellitic
arylimide-, 1,4,5,8-naphthalenetetracarboxylic arylimide-, and anthracene-based
aromatic groups, respectively) with dipalladium corners ([(bpy)2Pd2(NO3)2](NO3)2, [(dmbpy)2Pd2(NO3)2](NO3)2, or [(phen)2Pd2(NO3)2](NO3)2,
where bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine, dmbpy = 4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine,
and phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) in aqueous solutions via metal-directed
self-assembly. Metallamacrocycles 1–7 were fully
characterized by 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic
resonance spectroscopy and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry,
and the square structure of 7·8NO3
– was further confirmed via single crystal X-ray diffraction.
These square-like metallamacrocycles exhibit effective performance
for iodine adsorption.
The Nb3Sn thin film cavity, having the potential to be operated at a higher temperature and higher gradient compared to the cavity made from bulk niobium, is one of the most promising key technologies for the next-generation radio-frequency superconducting accelerators. In our work, several 1.3 GHz single-cell TESLA-shaped Nb3Sn thin film cavities, coated by the vapor diffusion method, were tested at Peking University and Institute of Modern Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. It was observed that the performance of the Nb3Sn thin film cavities in the tests without the slow cooling down procedure and the effective magnetic field shielding was significantly improved by using a low temperature baking at 100 °C for 48 hours. Although the peak electric field of the cavity remained unchanged, the rapid drop of the unloaded Q value (Q
0) with the increasing accelerating field (Q-slope) was effectively eliminated, resulting in an improvement of the Q
0 in the intermediate field region by ∼ 8 times. Furthermore, under better test conditions with the shielded magnetic field less than 5 mG and the slow cooling down procedure in the temperature range of 25–15 K, the Q
0 was still improved by about 20%. Our study shows that the low temperature baking can be an effective supplement to the effective post-treatment for the Nb3Sn thin film cavity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
