Abstract

Large single-grain bulk RE–Ba–Cu–O (RE: rare earth elements) superconductors can trap large fields exceeding several teslas and thus can function as very strong quasi-permanent magnets. We have found that the resin can penetrate into a bulk superconductor, when the sample was immersed in molten resin. Hence, resin impregnation was effective in improving mechanical properties. Three bulk superconductors‘ annuli with resin impregnation, each 50-mm i.d. and 80-mm o.d. was built and energized, by a field-cool method, to generate, in a bath of liquid nitrogen, a persistent trapped field of 1.62T.
