Abstract
- A nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) magnet composed of a high-temperature superconductor (HTS) is expected to contribute to a smaller size and a higher magnetic field (>1 GHz) of the NMR magnet due to its high critical current density under high magnetic field and better mechanical properties. The high operating temperature of HTS NMR magnets also makes conduction cooling by a cryocooler available. The conduction cooling system combined with a cryocooler is compact and user-friendly but has critical issues about the design of conduction cooling passages and the mechanical vibration. The small-scale HTS magnet with the conduction cooling system is fabricated and tested to check the issues and establish the design basis as a preliminary step for the development of a 400-MHz HTS NMR magnet. Thermal analysis for heat loads and thermal resistances at main joints is performed from the temperature distribution of the cooling system. The vibration levels at the crycooler and the vacuum chamber are discussed in comparison to the vibration criterion of NMR magnets. In addition, the design approach to the conduction cooling system for the HTS NMR magnet is discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
