contents Bulk high-temperature superconductors (HTS) are capable of generating very strong magnetic fields while maintaining a relatively compact form factor. Solenoids constructed using stacks of ring-shaped bulk HTS have been demonstrated to be capable of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, these stacks were magnetised via field cooling (FC), which typically requires a secondary superconducting charging magnet capable of sustaining a high magnetic field for a long period. A more economical alternative to FC is pulsed field magnetisation, which can be carried out with a magnet wound from a normal conductor, such as copper. In this work, we present a technique we have developed for iteratively homogenising the magnetic field within a stack of ring-shaped bulk HTS by manipulating the spatial profile of the applied pulsed field.
