Uses/Applications
The characterisation of the trapped field capabilities and mechanical strength of bulk [Ln+Y]BaCuO, where [Ln] is a Lanthaniod + Y element such as Y, Gd, Sm.
Characterisation of short period superconducting undulators in collaboration with the Paul Scherrer Institute (https://www.psi.ch/en).
Transport characterisation of thin film superconductors, determining Ic over a range of temperatures and fields. Currently developing an angular probe to allow characterisation of Ic and pinning while varying the angle of the field with respect to the plane of the film.
The magnet is a 12 T solenoid fitted with a VTI with a 100 mm usable bore supplied by Oxford Innovative Cryogenic Engineering. Temperature control is possible from 325 K to < 2 K. The system will have a field homogeneity of 0.05 % over a 1 cm. DSV and 0.5 % over a 4 cm DSV. The system is entirely cryo-cooler-operated with a He gas filled cooling loop. The VTI will operate in static, dynamic and one-shot modes.
The system is intended to facilitate materials characterisation and process development across a wide range of topics within the theme of Materials for Energy-Efficient ICT. While the system is provided with a generic fixed sample probe and a 100 A transport probe technical support is available to exploit the large internal bore of this magnet by designing custom measurement probes. A wide range of standard laboratory equipment is available in the host laboratory to use in conjunction with the system.
