Eight Tesla Superconducting Solenoid Magnet for the Magnetic Circular Dichroism Study

摘要

This study describes the design and testing of a superconducting solenoid magnet for soft X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (SXMCD) experiments at the National Synchrotron Radiation Research Center (NSRRC). The superconducting solenoid magnet provides an uniform field of up to 8 T in a bore of 55 mm in diameter and 0.5 m long. The superconducting solenoid is operated in a 4.5-K liquid helium bath for reducing the vibration level during the experiments. The magnet and its cryostat are optimized to prevent magnet quenching and lower liquid helium consumption. The magnet quench test and magnetic field measurements are also performed.
