Magnetic Field Stabilization for Magnetically Shielded Volumes by External Field Coils
نویسندگان
چکیده
For highly sensitive magnetic measurements, e.g., a measurement of the neutron electric dipole moment (EDM), the magnetic field has to be stable in time on a level below picoTesla. One of several measures we employ to achieve this uses an external field coil system which can stabilize the ambient external field at a predefined value. Here we report on the construction and characterization of such a system in the magnetic test facility at PSI. The system actively stabilizes the field along the axis of the EDM experiment by means of four coils in a Helmholtz-like configuration. Additional coils serve to compensate for transverse ambient field components. Because of the long integration times in the EDM experiment (about 100 s or more) only slow disturbances have to be corrected for. The performance of the system has been measured using static and moving magnetic sources and suppression factors in excess of 200 have been observed.

Shielded biplanar gradient coil design.
An application of the target field method to the design of shielded biplanar gradient coils for magnetic resonance imaging electromagnets is presented. Some specific cases are studied, and optimized geometries are proposed for the axial and transverse gradient coils that eliminate the third- and minimize the fifth-order terms in the magnetic field expansion.

A new immobilized palladium-pyridine complex on γ-Fe2O3 magnetic nanoparticles was synthesized and characterized by SEM, TEM, TGA, ICP, XPS, XRD, FT-IR and CHN analysis. The catalytic activity of synthesized catalyst has been investigated in Heck, Suzuki and Sonogashira coupling reactions using a series of aryl halides. The catalyst was easily isolated from the reaction mixture by an external m...
متن کاملOptimization of Planar Stream Functions for Gradient Coil Design
This work presents the Fast Simulated Annealing method for the design of self-shielded gradient coils with biplanar geometry. This method is based on the stochastic optimization of parameterized stream functions, which can be modeled by a few free parameters and can be used for coil designs with different (a) size or (b) number of turns. Gradient coils designed by this method produce magnetic f...
متن کاملMethod for expanding the uniformly shielded area in a short-length open-ended cylindrical magnetic shield
A compensation method is proposed by which the uniformly shielded area of the axial magnetic field in a relatively short, open-structure axial magnetic shield can be extended. An open-ended cylindrical magnetic shield of 120 cm in length, 52 cm inner diameter, and a ;0.5 mm total thickness of the shielding material is used to demonstrate the idea. The shield axis is oriented along the horizonta...
متن کاملLarge-volume conventional magnetic shields
2014 Increasing demand for low-field regions of large volumes has resulted in the construction of many magnetically-shielded walk-in rooms. Most have been of the cubic, two-layer high-03BC type, but several have used three layers, including one built by this author about three years ago. This room used several innovations, including "shaking" to increase the permeability of the magnetic sheets....
