Summary

Magnets made from high-temperature superconducting materials can benefit from the judicious use of iron. Iron used in a cylindrical geometry was found to reduce the radial component of the magnetic field seen by the superconductor, and so results in greater critical currents than those attainable without the iron cladding. When properly used, iron can affect the magnetic field seen by the superconductor, allowing the use of higher currents with a consequent increase in the maximum attainable fields. The advantages noted at low currents and at a temperature of 77 K in the paper can be realized at greater currents and at other temperatures.
