| contents | London penetration depth was measured in niobium foils, thin films, single crystals, and superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) cavity pieces cut out from different places. The low-temperature (T<Tc/3) variation, sensitive to the low-energy quasiparticles with states inside the superconducting gap, differs dramatically between different types of samples. With the help of phenomenological modeling, we correlate these different behaviors with known pair-breaking mechanisms and show that such measurements may help distinguish between different pair-breaking mechanisms, such as niobium hydrides and two-level systems (TLS). The conclusions also apply to SRF cavities when tracking the temperature-dependent quality factor and the resonant frequency. |
