3D vector magnet for precision field control

A 3D vector magnet is a sophisticated device capable of generating magnetic fields in any direction with high homogeneity. It is composed of multiple coils that can individually provide magnetic flux density in expected directions, allowing for the creation of two and/or three-dimensional magnetic fields. These magnets are crucial for applications requiring precise control over the direction and magnitude of magnetic fields, such as in material characterization, nanomagnetism, and advanced imaging techniques. The primary objective of designing a 3D vector magnet is to achieve a combination of homogeneity, strong field, and cost-effectiveness. A well-designed vector magnet can produce a magnetic flux density norm of up to 3 Tesla (T) in any direction with high homogeneity, utilizing the principles of Helmholtz coils to achieve individual strengths of 1.73 T for each component (Bx, By, Bz). This capability is essential for applications like characterizing high-temperature superconducting…
