A persistent current switch includes a superconducting wire including a substrate and a superconducting layer disposed on the substrate, and a heater. The superconducting wire includes a surface including a first portion and a second portion that are disposed apart from each other along a longitudinal direction of the superconducting wire. The first portion and the second portion face each other. The heater is sandwiched between the first portion and the second portion.

Persistent current switch and superconducting device

A superconducting magnet according to one embodiment includes: a coil including a superconducting layer having a first portion and a second portion, and a joining portion; and a cryostat in which the coil is stored. The first portion and the second portion are located in a termination portion. The superconducting layer forms a closed loop by superconducting joining of the first portion and the second portion at the joining portion. The superconducting layer is made of a high-temperature superconductor. A current flows through the joining portion in a superconducting state when a magnetic field equal to or greater than 1.0 tesla and equal to or less than 5.0 tesla is applied to the joining portion at 77 kelvin. The cryostat is configured such that a temperature inside the cryostat is equal to or greater than 2.0 kelvin and equal to or less than 77 kelvin.
