New magnets available

NOV 01, 1964
Physics Today

This summer, the National Magnet Laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology began operating several new high‐field water‐cooled dc magnets. One of them, a modified Bitter‐type magnet with a 112 working bore, has reached 156 kG. It has been used in experiments on the Mössbauer effect and ultrasonic attenuation in metals. Another new magnet, with a four‐inch bore and high homogeneity, utilizing a radially cooled plate structure, has been operated at 65 kG. It is designed to reach a field of 100 kG, but will be operated at a lower level for some time to allow evaluation of its performance and to permit its use in a program of nuclear magnetic resonance research.
