Field Homogeneity and Pole Distribution

Abstract
The design of a magnet for producing a uniform field is described. The magnet model used in the calculations is that of cylindrical cores surrounded by rims. The positions of the central pole faces and rims can be adjusted independently. A calculation, based on the assumption that the pole pieces are uniformly magnetized, shows that, for a certain positioning of the cores and rims, the z2 and z4 correction terms to Hz can be simultaneously canceled. Practical limitations to uniformity that result from a slight asymmetry in the geometry and from the effect of nonuniformity in magnetization because of domain structure in the iron also are discussed.
