Research Magnet Technology by Harry Jones Pdf

Research Magnet Technology presents an overview of the technologies necessary to provide high magnetic fields as a research tool mainly, but by no means exclusively, for condensed matter physics. Taken from the perspective of the author's career spanning four decades, it contains a historical component while at the same time deals with state-of-the-art and future developments. Several technologies are described: classical electrical engineering (copper/water-cooled multi-megawatt), superconducting magnets (both low and high temperature), hybrid magnets, non-destructive pulsed magnets, and destructive non-continuous techniques for ultra-high fields. The world's dedicated magnet laboratories are described parallel to the involvement of the industry. Examples of major scientific advances that have used high fields will be explored and future applications indicated. Moreover, the many distinguished and colorful scientists and engineers who have made an impression on the author over the last 40 years are featured anecdotally where appropriate. Unlike most books on magnet technology and related topics that are either rigorous textbooks with a heavy mathematical content or popular works which treat the magnet as an interesting curiosity, this book adopts a unique approach by balancing the two extremes

Opportunities in High Magnetic Field Science by National Research Council,Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences,Board on Physics and Astronomy,Solid State Sciences Committee,Committee on Opportunities in High Magnetic Field Science Pdf

High-field magnetsâ€"those that operate at the limits of the mechanical and/or electromagnetic properties of their structural materialsâ€"are used as research tools in a variety of scientific disciplines. The study of high magnetic fields themselves is also important in many areas such as astrophysics. Because of their importance in scientific research and the possibility of new breakthroughs, the National Science Foundation asked the National Research Council to assess the current state of and future prospects for high-field science and technology in the United States. This report presents the results of that assessment. It focuses on scientific and technological challenges and opportunities, and not on specific program activities. The report provides findings and recommendations about important research directions, the relative strength of U.S. efforts compared to other countries, and ways in which the program can operate more effectively.

High Magnetic Field Science and Its Application in the United States by National Research Council,Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences,Board on Physics and Astronomy,Committee to Assess the Current Status and Future Direction of High Magnetic Field Science in the United States Pdf

The Committee to Assess the Current Status and Future Direction of High Magnetic Field Science in the United States was convened by the National Research Council in response to a request by the National Science Foundation. This report answers three questions: (1) What is the current state of high-field magnet science, engineering, and technology in the United States, and are there any conspicuous needs to be addressed? (2) What are the current science drivers and which scientific opportunities and challenges can be anticipated over the next ten years? (3) What are the principal existing and planned high magnetic field facilities outside of the United States, what roles have U.S. high field magnet development efforts played in developing those facilities, and what potentials exist for further international collaboration in this area? A magnetic field is produced by an electrical current in a metal coil. This current exerts an expansive force on the coil, and a magnetic field is "high" if it challenges the strength and current-carrying capacity of the materials that create the field. Although lower magnetic fields can be achieved using commercially available magnets, research in the highest achievable fields has been, and will continue to be, most often performed in large research centers that possess the materials and systems know-how for forefront research. Only a few high field centers exist around the world; in the United States, the principal center is the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL). High Magnetic Field Science and Its Application in the United States considers continued support for a centralized high-field facility such as NHFML to be the highest priority. This report contains a recommendation for the funding and siting of several new high field nuclear magnetic resonance magnets at user facilities in different regions of the United States. Continued advancement in high-magnetic field science requires substantial investments in magnets with enhanced capabilities. High Magnetic Field Science and Its Application in the United States contains recommendations for the further development of all-superconducting, hybrid, and higher field pulsed magnets that meet ambitious but achievable goals.

Superconducting Technology by Kristian Fossheim Pdf

This book contains an interdisciplinary selection of timely articles which cover a wide range of superconducting technologies ranging from high tech medicine (10-12 Gauss) to multipurpose sensors, microwaves, radio engineering, magnet technology for accelerators, magnetic energy storage, and power transmission on the 109 watt scale. It is aimed primarily at the non-specialist and will be suitable as an introductory course book for those in the relevant fields and related industries. As shown in the title several examples of high-c applications are included. While low-Tc is still the leading technology, for instance, in cables and SQUIDS, case studies in these areas are presented.
