Abstract:
An electromagnet includes insulating cooling plates of a ceramic material which are vertically arranged parallel to each other, washer-shaped insulating center spacers maintained at a constant distance between adjacent insulating cooling plates, pancake coils including Litz wires which are spirally wound on each of the insulating center spacers in the space between the adjacent insulating cooling plates, and a housing which covers at least outer side surfaces of the insulating cooling plates and the pancake coils and provides a coolant to cool the insulating cooling plates.
Abstract:
Provided are an ultra-low field nuclear magnetic resonance device and a method for measuring an ultra-low field nuclear resonance image. The ultra-low field nuclear magnetic resonance device includes an AC power supply configured to supply a current to a measurement target in such a manner the current flows to the measurement target, magnetic field measurement means disposed adjacent to the measurement target, and measurement bias magnetic field generation means configured to apply a measurement bias magnetic field corresponding to a proton magnetic resonance frequency of the measurement target. A vibration frequency of the AC power supply matches the proton magnetic resonance frequency of the measurement target, and the magnetic field measurement means measures a nuclear magnetic resonance signal generated from the measurement target.
Abstract:
Provided is a low magnetic field and ultra-low magnetic field NMR and MRI apparatus. The low magnetic field and ultra-low magnetic field NMR and MRI apparatus includes a SQUID sensor and a prepolarization magnetic field coil. The prepolarization magnetic field coil generates a prepolarization magnetic field to polarize a sample. The prepolarization magnetic coil generates a counter pulse in a direction opposite to that of the prepolarization magnetic field immediately before or immediately after the prepolarization magnetic field is generated. The counter pulse demagnetizes wanted magnetization including that of the prepolarization magnetic field coil itself.
Abstract:
Provided are an atomic magnetometer and an operating method of the same. The atomic magnetometer includes a vapor cell receiving a circularly polarized pump beam and a linearly polarized probe beam and containing an alkali metal vapor, a detector adapted to receive the probe beam passing through the vapor cell to measure magneto-optical rotation of the probe beam, a feedback coil to establish a negative feedback magnetic field signal orthogonal to a first plane defined by traveling directions of the probe beam and the pump beam and provide the negative feedback magnetic field signal to the vapor cell, and a feedback amplifier adapted to provide feedback current to the feedback coil such that the negative feedback magnetic field proportional to a measurement magnetic field is established. The measurement magnetic field of a measurement target provides magneto-optical rotation of the probe beam in the vapor cell.
