A fixed remanence rigid permanent magnetic structure is provided. The
fixed remanence rigid permanent magnetic structure is fabricated from a
number of superconductive magnetic segments composed of high temperature
superconductive particles. The superconductive magnetic segments are
characterized by unusually high transition temperatures and a capacity to
trap magnetic flux. The fixed remanence permanent magnetic structure
provides a fixed magnetic remanence B in the interior working space and
offers stronger magnetic fields than currently available rigid permanent
magnets.
