The invention provides nuclear magnetic resonance equipment realizing improved
sensitivity of a probe for receiving a free induction decay (FID) signal in nuclear
magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy in a high frequency band of 600 MHz or higher.
By manufacturing a solenoid coil of a higher filling factor by using a superconductor
of extremely low resistance to high frequency current, sensitivity is increased.
A superconducting thin film made of magnesium diboride (MgB2) formed
on a donut plate-type substrate is disposed so that the film surface becomes parallel
with the uniform magnetic field. The object is realized by a probe made by a solenoid
coil formed by connecting a plurality of coil parts by capacitive coupling via
a normal metal lead.
