Research abstract
Our overall goal for this project is to develop the technologies necessary for fabrication of efficient cryogen-free superconducting magnets that can operate at temperatures of 6-10K. In the Phase I program, we demonstrated that an efficient solenoid magnet system may be built using small diameter Nb3Sn wires employing the react-and-wind approach. In the Phase II program we will fabricate model 3T magnets operating at 10K with currents of 8A, 5A and 3A. The magnet will be tested and then used by NASA in an ongoing R&D in the area of Adiabatic Demagnetization Refrigeration.
