Abstract

The ultra-high-field superconducting magnets have been widely applied in scientific instruments for condensed matter physics. A superconducting magnet with the center field of 25 T in a warm bore-size of 32 mm in diameter has been designed for the Extreme Condition Experimental Science Facility (ExCES). The superconducting magnet consists of NbTi, Nb3Sn superconducting coils and YBCO high-temperature superconducting (HTS) insert operated at the 4.2 K. In order to prove the technical feasibility to achieve the target of 25 T, high-temperature superconductor YBCO and Bi2223 inserts have been designed, fabricated and tested in the operating temperature of 4.2 K. Inner diameter, outer diameter, and height for the YBCO insert are 40 mm, 68.9 mm, and 253 mm, respectively. The larger Bi2223 insert has the inner diameter, outer diameter, and height of 120 mm, 212 mm, and 268.8 mm, respectively. Tests at liquid helium temperature show that the YBCO and Bi2223 inserts can generate the center field of 5 T and 5.05 T, respectively. The assembly of the Bi2223 and YBCO insert coils can generate a center magnetic field of 7.6 T when tested at the liquid helium temperature. In this paper, the design, fabrication, and test of the HTS insert and the 25 T magnet are reported.
