Abstract
Abstract A superconductor for magnetic field shielding which is characterized in that it includes at least one composite lamination including a thin film of the superconductor and a metal layer laminated with the thin film of the superconductor having a thickness not more than that obtained at the turning point where the magnetic field shielding effect of a single film of the superconductor changes from an abrupt increase to a gradual increase as the thickness of the superconductor film increases. This superconductor for magnetic field shielding has an extremely great magnetic field shielding effect even though the superconductor is in thin layers.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
114 words
A magnetic field shield including a superconductor film having a magnetic field shielding effect which abruptly increases from the vicinity of the origin to a turning point of a graph illustrating the relationship between the thickness of a single layer of said superconductor film and the magnetic field shielding effect of said superconductor film, and after said turning point gradually increases as the thickness of said superconductor film increases, said magnetic field shield being characterized in that it comprises at least one composite lamination comprising a thin continuous film of said supeconductor, said thin continuous film having a thickness not more than that obtained at said turning point and not less than 2 μm.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
