Summary
This paper introduces a novel uni-layer magnet geometry for superconducting magnet design that creates a perpendicular magnetic field through asymmetric current distribution within a single conducting layer. The uni-layer concept offers advantages over traditional multi-layer designs by enabling continuous unit length without layer jumps and increasing the minimum bending radius available to the conductor, which is particularly beneficial for strain-sensitive high-temperature superconductors. The design is optimised for very high field accelerator magnet applications where high conductor efficiency and compact apertures are required.
UK applicability
This is a fundamental physics and materials science contribution with no direct application to UK farming systems, soil health, nutrient density or human health. It falls outside the scope of Vitagri's Pulse Brain catalogue.
Key measures
Minimum bending radius of conductor, efficiency of conductor use, aperture size, continuous unit length capability
Outcomes reported
The study presents a novel uni-layer magnet geometry that creates a perpendicular magnetic field using asymmetric current distribution within a single layer. The design is compared to existing superconducting magnet concepts (cos θ sector, stress-managed cos θ, and canted cos θ) and evaluated for high-temperature superconductor applications in very high field accelerator magnets.
