A magnet using a high critical temperature bulk
superconductor is the new magnet for NMR/MRI. The bulk
magnet gives a strong magnetic field without a liquid
cryogen such as helium. However, there is a critical
problem, which is the inhomogeneous magnetic field of
the bulk magnet. To overcome this problem, the magnet
structure was optimized using a finite element method.
In addition to this, a single-layer shim coil was
developed to compensate the residual inhomogeneity of
the magnet. As the result, the 6.9 ppm (peak-to-peak) in
6.2
9.2
mm was achieved.
