Construction and performance test of a magnetically levitated transport system in vacuum using high-Tc superconductors

Hirofumi Minami; Junpei Yuyama

We have developed a magnetically levitated transport system in vacuum using the strong pinning force of high-T c superconductors. This transport system consists of superconductors prepared by the quench-and-melt-growth (QMG) method and permanent magnets. The superconductors move within the cooling jacket inserted into the transport chamber. A transfer arm moves in the transport chamber without any contact or sliding, because stable levitation is brought about by magnetic interaction between the magnet attached to the arm and the superconductor. In this paper, structure and performance test results are described.

Sweeping of Trapped Flux in Superconductors Using Laser Beam Scanning

Qiquan Geng; Hirofumi Minami; Kazunori Chihara; Junpei Yuyama; Eiichi Goto

A new technique has been developed to remove flux quanta trapped in superconducting film. It consists of measuring the magnetic field distribution over a superconductor with an rf SQUID and removing the detected trapped flux using laser beam scanning. The trapped flux movement follows the motion of the Ar laser beam exactly. By scanning the laser beam over the trapped flux quanta, the trapped flux is successfully moved to any desired location.

Sweeping of Trapped Flux in Superconducting Films Using Laser Beam Scanning

Qiquan Geng; Hirofumi Minami; Kazunori Chihara; Junpei Yuyama; Eiichi Goto

A new technique has been developed to remove flux quanta trapped in superconducting film. In 1984, one of the present authors proposed a micro heat flushing (μHF) method for achieving perfect magnetic shielding. In this method, a small area on a superconducting thin film is heated and turned into the normal state. The entire film surface is then swept over by the normal hot spot, which captures the trapped flux and carries it either to an unimportant region or out of the superconductor. It has been shown that the trapped flux movement follows the motion of the Ar laser beam exactly. By scanning the laser beam over the trapped flux quanta, the trapped flux is successfully moved to any desired location.
