Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A magnetic shielding material which can decrease the thickness by having excellent conductivity even at low temperatures of, for example, 77 K or lower, in a strong magnetic field of a magnetic flux density of 1 T or more is provide. A magnetic shielding material to be used at low temperatures of 77 K or lower in the magnetic field of a magnetic flux density of 1 T or more, comprises aluminum having a purity of 99.999% by mass or more.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of shielding a superconducting magnet comprising: placing a magnetic shielding material on a periphery of the superconducting magnet, wherein the magnetic shielding material includes aluminum having a purity of 99.999% by mass or more, the superconducting magnet being operated at low temperatures of 77 K or lower in the magnetic field of a magnetic flux density of 1 T or more, such that the magnetic shielding material is subjected to the magnetic field and the low temperatures. 2. The method of shielding the superconducting magnet according to claim 1 , wherein the aluminum has the content of iron of 1 ppm by mass or less. 3. The method of shielding the superconducting magnet according to claim 1 , wherein the aluminum has a purity of 99.9999% by mass or more. 4. The method of shielding the superconducting magnet according to claim 1 , wherein the aluminum has a purity of 99.99998% by mass or more. 5. The method of shielding the superconducting magnet according to claim 1 , wherein the aluminum comprises an intermetallic compound Al 3 Fe. 6. The method of shielding the superconducting magnet according to claim 1 , wherein the magnetic shielding material has a resistivity ranging from 0.246 to 1.06 nΩcm when measured in liquid helium at 4.2 K by varying a magnetic field applied to the magnetic shielding material from a magnetic flux density of 0 T to 15 T.
