Abstract
A magnetic field generation system includes first () and second () magnetic flux concentrators spaced apart to form a sample volume (). A first set of auxiliary permanent magnets () can be symmetrically oriented about and in contact with a portion of the first magnetic flux concentrator (). Similarly, a second set of auxiliary permanent magnets () can be symmetrically oriented about and in contact with a portion of the second magnetic flux concentrator (). The first() and second () sets of auxiliary magnets can be magnetically associated via the first () and second () magnetic flux concentrators. Magnetically soft shunts () can be movably oriented to allow variation of the magnetic field strength across the sample volume by disrupting the field flux across the magnetic flux concentrators.
