Metallised 3D printed plastic resonator demonstrates superconductivity below 4 K

We report the first observation of a superconducting transition in a 3D printed, metallised-plastic device. A cylindrical cavity is 3D printed from a photosensitive polymer resin and then a 20 $μ$m layer of tin deposited. A resonant TE microwave mode at 13.41 GHz is observed to reduce its losses by an order of magnitude once it is cooled below 3.72 K; the superconducting transition temperature of tin, with the mode's $Q$ factor increasing from $2.7\times10^4$ to $4.0\times10^5$.

Universal Characterisation of Cavity--Magnon Polariton Coupling Strength Verified in Modifiable Microwave Cavity

A comprehensive study of the frequency dependence of the photon-magnon coupling for different magnetic samples is made possible with a tuneable 3D--printed re--entrant cavity. Strong coupling is achieved, with values ranging between 20--140 MHz. The reworked theory, experimentally verified for the first time here, enables coupling values to be calculated from simulations alone, enabling future experiments with exotic cavity designs to be precisely engineered, with no limitations on sample and cavity geometry. Finally, the requirements of the deep strong coupling regime are shown to be achievable in such experiments.

Strong Coupling of Magnons to Microwave Photons in Three-Dimensional Printed Resonators

We report on ferromagnetic resonant mode hybridization in re-entrant cavities made with a commercial three-dimensional (3D) printer, followed by conventional 3D metalization with copper and tin. The cavity volume was only 7% that of a standard cavity resonating at the same frequency, while maintaining a high quality factor. Simulations were in very good agreement. We obtained an effective coupling of about 40 MHz in two cavities at room temperature. These experimental results demonstrate the utility of tunable filters based on complex 3D printed cavities.
