Abstract

A magnetic field shield including a superconductive film characterized in that the magnetic field shield comprises a superconductive film layer constituted primarily of a mixed crystalline body of niobium nitride and titanium nitride laminated on a metal substrate, that the magnetic field further comprises a nobium-titanium alloy layer or a metal film layer in the above lamination, that the magnetic field comprises a plurality of the above-mentioned layers, and that the magnetic field has a plurality of small holes passing through the layers in the direction of the thickness. The magnetic field shield of the present invention produces an excellent magnetic field shielding effect due to a superconductive characteristic peculiar to the superconductive film layer constituted primarily by a mixed crystalline body of niobium nitride and titanium nitride. The cooling effect of the metal substrate maintains the magnetic field shielding effect at a high level. In addition, due to the use of the niobium-titanium alloy layer, the magnetic field shield has high resistance against peeling, greatly increasing the practical usefulness of the magnetic field shield. In the case of the magnetic fie…
