Abstract

We propose a compact passive device as a super-concentrator to obtain an extremely high uniform static magnetic field over 50 T in a large two-dimensional free space in the presence of a uniform weak background magnetic field. Our design is based on transformation optics and metamaterials for static magnetic fields. Finite element method (FEM) is utilized to verify the performance of the proposed device.
