Abstract The measurement of the upper critical field of a type-2 superconductor, Hc2, is an important step in determining its superconducting properties, and therefore its suitability as a material in SRF cavities. However, measuring Hc2 directly can be challenging, as performing electrical measurements causes changes in the very properties one seeks to measure. We present a method for extracting Hc2 from resistivity measurements made near the transition temperature for varied applied fields and excitation currents. We also present results of these measurements made on Nb3Sn and nitrogen-doped niobium.
