Abstract
Persistent current (PC) operating magnet with bore diameter of about 32 mm was design and developed based on multi- and mono-filament MgB2 wires. The magnet was in a multi-solenoid structure. One pilot coil was wound and joints were fabricated at both ends, connecting it to a superconducting switch for PC operation tests. The magnet was to demonstrate the high field and high temperature performance at different temperatures. Numerical and experimental results demonstrated a promising future of MgB2 wires in low cost magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems and high field scientific magnets.

MgB2 superconducting joints for persistent current operation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a concept and fabrication of superconducting joints, which yielded reliable performance in the operating temperature range of 4.2-25 K. The critical current capacity and joint resistance were precisely evaluated by the standard four-probe method in open-circuit and by fielddecay measurements in a closed-loop, respectively.
