Field Mapping, NMR Lineshape, and Screening Currents Induced Field Analyses for Homogeneity Improvement in LTS/HTS NMR Magnets

Abstract

This paper describes two general methods: field map processing and NMR lineshape analysis, that we are currently using for the on-going research of field improvement techniques specifically applied to our 700 MHz LTS/HTS NMR magnet. The validity of the methods is verified with comparison between calculations and experiments. Also, a simple but effective analysis has been used to identify the principal source of a remanent magnetic field measured in the bore of the 700 MHz LTS/HTS NMR magnet: the Screening Current induced Field (SCF) from the 100-MHz HTS insert, comprised of 48 double pancake coils, each wound with Bi2223 tape.
