Field Mapping of the Jointless HTS Solenoid Magnet in a Persistent Current Mode Operation

Abstract

In order to achieve a persistent current mode operation with high-temperature superconducting (HTS) coils, we have been trying to improve the concept of a jointless HTS coil. The coil has a perfect closed loop without any joints in a coil, and we have proven that a persistent current can be induced in the coil by several charge up methods such as PCS, flux pump, or field cooling with a background magnet. In this paper, based on the previous experiment, which showed partially successful results [10], we designed and fabricated a small solenoid type jointless HTS magnet with a 100-m-long ReBCO wide conductor and tested it in a liquid nitrogen bath. After the persistent current mode operation of 15 h, we tried to measure temporal and spatial homogeneity by a field mapper we developed under the DSV of 10 mm .
