Enclosed loop-gap resonator

摘要

The ends of a loop-gap resonator are extended along a closed path to define an enclosed chamber with a gap extending along its length. A lumped circuit resonator is formed and the magnetic field is confined to the chamber. Openings may be formed in the chamber wall to direct magnetic flux through sample materials outside the chamber, and the cross sectional area of the chamber may be altered to control the energy density distribution of the magnetic field.
