Abstract

We have investigated the suppression of flux jumps and the enhancement of trapped field on a thin, high-Jc MgB₂ bulk (30 mm in diameter and 7 mm in thickness) for the pulsed field magnetization (PFM) using a split-type coil with a soft iron yoke, and compared the results to those magnetized using the split-type coil without a yoke and a solenoid-type coil with a yoke. A maximum-trapped field, Bz, of 0.71 T at 14 K was achieved on the bulk surface without flux jumps by using the split coil with yoke. On the other hand, low Bz values with flux jumps were observed for the cases using the split-type coil without a soft iron yoke, and the solenoid-type coil with a yoke. These results reproduce previous ones for a thick, high-Jc MgB₂ bulk (22 mm in diameter and 15 mm in thickness), for which the trapped field was enhanced to a record high value of Bz=1.10 T at 13 K by PFM using the split-type coil with a yoke.
