Abstract:
1. A superconducting magnetic shielding system operable to shield a device from a component of a magnetic field, the device having at least a first surface and a second surface that is opposite the first surface, the system comprising: a first planar shield formed of a material that is superconducting below a critical temperature, the first planar shield defined by a perimeter and an area that is larger than an area of the device; a second planar shield formed of a material that is superconducting below a critical temperature, the second planar shield defined by a perimeter and an area that is larger than the area of the device, wherein the first planar shield and the second planar shield are parallel with one another, the first planar shield is proximate the first surface of the device, the second planar shield is proximate the second surface of the device, and wherein the first and second planar shields are both oriented normal to the component of the magnetic field; a first thermally conductive lead that is thermally coupled to a point proximate the perimeter of the first planar shield and operable to thermally couple to a cold surface; and a second thermally conductive lead that is thermally coupled to a point proximate the perimeter of the second planar shield and operable to thermally couple to the cold surface.
