Abstract

Development of a high-field NMR magnet has been underway at the Tsukuba Magnet Laboratory of the National Institute for Materials Science. The magnet succeeded in a persistent-mode operation at 21.17 T in December 1999. A 283-day long-term operation was carried out from October 2000 to August 2001. It included a persistent operation at 21.6 T (920 MHz) for 108 days. This was the highest field that the superconducting magnets have ever achieved in a persistent operation. Field decay was less than 2 Hz/h. Field homogeneity after correcting with superconducting shim coils were less than 0.1 ppm in a sample volume. These results confirmed that this magnet had been successfully developed as a high-resolution NMR magnet.
