Halbach永磁体因其无需轭铁、外杂散场小等优势,在低场核磁共振(LF-NMR)领域(例如岩芯分析)有着潜在的广泛应用前景.相较于小体积岩芯,大体积更容易保留原始内部结构与流体状态,但其测试时要求更大的磁场均匀区域.然而Halbach磁体的异型结构导致其初始磁场均匀度差,难以直接获得较大的磁场均匀区域.为此,本文结合Halbach磁体理论与有限元仿真方法,设计得到场强158.4 mT、均匀度22 502 ppm(1 ppm=10-6,直径100 mm球形区域)的Halbach磁体.采用改进的谐波分析无源匀场法,将磁场均匀度提升至1 496 ppm(提升15倍).无源匀场后采集直径100 mm、高度100 mm硫酸铜水溶液中1H的FID,并采集双组分硫酸铜溶液CPMG信号,以T2为依据分辨不同样品组分.上述结果表明,本文的磁体设计方案与无源匀场方法为大口径高均匀度Halbach磁体的构建提供了有效技术支持.

Halbach permanent magnets hold significant promise for low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF-NMR) applications, such as rock core analysis, owing to their yoke-free design and low external stray fields. Compared with small rock cores, large rock cores better preserve the original internal structure and fluid distribution, yet they demand a larger homogeneous region. However, the complex structure of Halbach magnets inherently yields inadequate initial homogeneity, making it difficult to directly obtain a sufficiently large homogeneous region. In this study, we defined a 100-mm-diameter spherical region of interest (ROI) and optimized the magnet structure using Halbach magnet theory and finite-element simulations. The final designed magnet provides a field strength of 158.4 mT and an initial homogeneity of 22 502 ppm (1 ppm=10-6). We applied an improved harmonic-based passive shimming method and enhanced the field homogeneity to 1 496 ppm. After passive shimming, we acquired 1H free induction decay (FID) signals from an aqueous CuSO4 sample (Φ 100 mm × H 100 mm), and Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill (CPMG) signals from a two-component CuSO4 aqueous solution, and distinguished different samples based on their T2. These results demonstrate that the proposed magnet design and passive shimming method are effective for constructing large-bore, high homogeneity Halbach magnets.
