The quench current characteristics of the superconducting solenoids with large diameter were experimentally investigated. Three solenoids with inside diameter of 450mm were fabricated with different tensions and different types of epoxy applications. The quench current of each solenoid was measured according to the various ramping rates of current. The highest quench current was obtained in the solenoid impregnated with epoxy after winding with tension of 20 percents of the yield strength of the superconducting wire. It was found that the quench currents were almost independent of the ramp rate of current. From the results, although the training effect in the solenoid appeared with epoxy impregnation, the quench current of solenoid impregnated with epoxy was higher than that without epoxy impregnated The test results are presented and discussed.

An actuator using a permanent magnet and solenoid is proposed and designed in this paper. Its design concept is composed of a driving force generation, a guide mechanism, and a symmetric structure. At first, Driving Force generation uses a concept that is a change efflux by using a permanent magnet and solenoid. A permanent flux is generated by a permanent magnet. Changeable flux is created by a variable current flowing through coil such the solenoid. The direction of this flux is changed due to current flowing through coils. The combination of permanent and changeable fluxes make various flux densities between yokes of moving part and fixed yokes. And then, the flux densities create forces(F), which are used to drive this actuator, in lower and upper gap. In this actuator ...

The research results on the superconducting magnet for whole body MRI are presented. The magnet consists of main coil with 6 solenoid coils, shielding coil with 2 solenoid coils and 6 sets of cryogenic shim coil. The ferromagnetic shim assembly is installed on the inside wall of the room temperature bore for shimming inhomogeneous field components generated due to manufacturing tolerances, installation misalignments and external ferromagnetic materials near the magnet. Also, the magnet is enclosed with the horizontal type cryostat with 80cm room temperature bore to keep the magnet under the operating temperature. The magnetic field distributions within the imaging volume were measured by the NMR field mapping system. Through the test, the central field of magnet was 1.5 Tesla and the field homogeneity of 9.3 ppm has been obtained on 40cm DSV(the diameter of spherical volume) and using this magnet, comparatively good images for human body, fruits and water phantoms have been achieved.

In this study, microscale, high-performance, solenoid-type RF chip inductors were investigated. The size of the RF chip inductors fabricated in this work was 1.0${\times}$0.5${\times}$0.5㎣. 96% $Al_2$ $O_3$and I-type were used as the material and shape of the core, respectively. The copper (Cu) wire with 6 turns was employed as the coils. The diameter (40${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) and position (middle) of the coil and the length (0.35mm) of solenoid were determined by a high-frequency structure simulator (HFSS) to maximize the performance of the inductors. High frequency characteristics of the inductance (L) and quality-factor (Q) of developed inductors were measured using an RF Impedance/Material Analyzer (HP4291B with HP16193A test fixture). The inductors developed have inductances of 10.8nH and quality factors of 25.2 to 50 over the frequency ranges of 250MHz to l GHz, and show results comparable to those measured for the inductors prepared by CoilCraf $t^{Tm}$ . The simulated data predicted the high-frequency data of the L and Q of the inductors developed well.l.

In this work, small-size, high-performance solenoid-type RF chip inductors utilizing a low-loss Al$_2$O$_3$core material were investigated. The size of the chip inductors fabricated in this work were 15$\times$10$\times$0.7㎣, 2.1$\times$1.5$\times$10㎣, and 2.4$\times$2.0$\times$1.4㎣ and copper (Cu) wire with 40 ㎛ diameter was used as the coils. High frequency characteristics of the inductance, quality factor, and impedance of developed inductors were measured suing an RF Impedance/Material Analyzer (HP4291B with HP16193A test fixture). It was observed that the developed inductors with the number of turns of 7 have the inductance of 33 to 100nH and exhibit the self-resonant frequency (SRF) of .26 to 1.1 GHz. The SRF of inductors decreases with increasing the inductance and the inductors have the quality factor of 60 to 80 in the frequency range of 300 MHz to 1.1 GHz. In this study, small-size solenoid-type RF chip inductors with high inductance and high quality factor were fabricated successfully. It is suggested that the thin film-type inductor is necessary to fabricate the smaller size inductors at the expence of inductance and quality factor values.

As a part of the plasma control system (PCS) for the first plasma campaign of KSTAR, seven sets of fast feedback control loop for the superconducting poloidal field magnet power supply (PF MPS) have been implemented. A special real-time digital communication interface has been developed for the simultaneous exchanges of the current/voltage data from the 7 sets of 12-thyristor power supplies in a 200 microsecond control cycle. Preliminary power supply tests have been performed before actual cooldown of the device. A $29mH/50m{\Omega}$ solenoid dummy has been fabricated for a series of single power supply tests. Connectivity and response speed of the plasma control system have been verified. By changing hardware cabling, this load was also used to estimate mutual inductance coupling effects of two geometrically adjacent solenoid coils on each power supply. After the cooldown was complete, each pair of the up/down symmetric PF coils has been serially connected and tested as part of the device commissioning process. Bipolar operation and longer pulse attempts have been investigated. The responses of the coils and power supplies corresponding to the plasma magnetic controls in plasma discharges are also analyzed for the future upgrades.

To reduce the power loss in normal state, non-inductively wound high temperature superconducting (HTS) coils are used for fault current limiter (FCL) application. Non-inductively wound coils can be classified into two types: solenoid type and pancake type. These two types have different electrical and thermal and mechanical characteristics due to their winding structure difference. This paper deals with the current limiting characteristics, magnetic field analysis of the two coils. Simulation using finite element method (FEM) was used to analyze the magnetic field distribution and inductance of the coils. Short circuit test using stabilizer-free coated conductor (CC) was also carried out. We can compare the characteristics of the two types of coil by using the data obtained from simulation and short circuit test. We confirmed the feasibility of FCL application by the analysis about the characteristics of non-inductively wound coil using CC.

In this paper, a design scheme of SMES coil with HTS wire(BSCCO 2223) for least stray field and conductor consumption is presented. Three types of coils (solenoid, multiple solenoid, and modular toroid) have been considered. Shape and size of the coil was decided by line element method with evolution strategy and confirmed with Finite Element Method. Modular toroid displayed least stray field with given conductor length. The goal of the study is to establish designing technology of a HTS coil for SMES which works in relatively high magnetic field.

Biosupramolecular systems such as biological membranes usually fluid under physiological conditions$^1$. Therefore, solid-state NMR has been used to investigate biosupramolecular systems. But solid-state NMR spectra contain a large number of overlapping resonances and are rather difficult to analyze. These problem has to be overcome by selective isotope labeling. We constructed a deuterium NMR probe for AM400 NMR spectrometer, which is mainly used for liquid samples. To overcome the fluidity problem, a saddle type coil was designed. The efficiency was systematically investigated for two kinds of coil geometry, solenoid and saddle types. Our results suggest that solenoids are superior to saddle type coils in the sensitivity. However, the letter fits better to fluid samples such as biosupramolecular systems.
