Progress in superconducting magnet technology achieved by IEE-CAS

Conduction-cooled superconducting magnet system, by Superconducting Magnet Group of IEE-CAS

The development of conduction-cooled superconducting magnet technology allows high field superconducting magnets to be operated without use of liquid helium and nitrogen. The most prominent value of this technology lies in the operation convenience, low operating costs and ease of use of superconducting magnet system. Many research areas have benefited from the magnetic application of high field superconducting magnets. Especially, magnetic field effects have recently been observed for material, chemical and biological systems.

Certificate of National Award for Science and Technology Progress, by IEE-CAS

The Superconducting Magnet Group of Institute of Electrical Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences (IEE-CAS) devotes for a long time to study of conduction-cooled superconducting magnet technology. This group has become one of the main research teams in applied superconductivity in China and has developed to a laboratory with international influence on applied superconductivity.

Recently, the obvious progress was achieved in the project "Conduction-cooled high heat capacity and thermal conductivity superconducting magnet technologies with complex high magnetic field". The magnet running under the super-gravitational motion condition was first realized successfully. In January, 2010, the Superconducting Magnet Group won the second prize of National Award for Science and Technology Progress by the project "Conduction-cooled high heat capacity and thermal conductivity superconducting magnet technologies with complex high magnetic field".
