Abstract Many novel materials are under investigation for the future of superconducting radio-frequency accelerators (SRF). In particular, thin-film materials such as Nb3Sn, NbN, SIS multilayers, and also thin-film niobium on copper, may offer improvements in cost efficiency and RF performance over the standard niobium cavities. To avoid the difficulties of depositing thin films on full cavities, Cornell has developed a TE-mode sample host cavity which allows for RF measurements of large, flat samples at fields up to and over 100 mT. We present recent performance results from the cavity, reaching record high fields and quality factor using a niobium calibration plate. We also discuss plans for future collaborations.
