This is consistent with an increase from the lower critical magnetic field H_c1 up to the superheating field H_sh of the Nb substrate. In the experiments presented here coatings of Nb_3Sn and MgB_2 with a thickness between 50 and 2000nm have been tested. H_entry does not depend on material or thickness. This suggests that the energy barrier at the boundary between the two materials prevents flux entry up to H_sh of the substrate.
