PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a magnetic field generator which generates a magnetic field having such a magnetic field distribution as to making the degree of freedom of design higher with respect to a position of a uniform magnetic field space and which uses a high-temperature superconductive bulk magnet, and a magnetic field generating method.SOLUTION: A magnetic field generator 1 comprises a magnetic pole part 2 having a superconductive bulk magnet. In a superconductive state, a magnetic field generated from the superconductive bulk magnet forms a magnetic field with a concave magnetic field distribution on a magnetic pole surface of the magnetic pole part.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】均一な磁場空間の位置について設計自由度を向上させるような磁場分布を有する磁場を発生する、高温超電導バルク磁石を用いた磁場発生装置及び磁場発生方法を提供する。【解決手段】磁場発生装置1は、超電導バルク磁石を備える磁極部2を備え、超電導状態において、前記超電導バルク磁石から発生する磁場は、前記磁極部の磁極面に、凹型形状の磁場分布を有する磁場を形成する。【選択図】図1
