Abstract :
[en] The attenuation of magnetic fields is crucial for various application fields, including health, space exploration, and fundamental physics, to name just a few. Superconductors are key materials for addressing this challenge. In this review, we mainly focus on the shielding and screening of quasi-static magnetic fields using superconductor-based passive layouts. After providing a brief overview of the principles of magnetic shielding and screening using superconductors, we outline commonly used procedures for measuring the field attenuation. Next, we give an insight into analytical and numerical models able to reproduce experimental results and predict the performances of new designs. Key challenges and achievements in employing low temperature or high temperature superconducting bulk and tape-based structures for reducing a given applied field are then discussed. Additionally, hybrid designs combining superconducting and ferromagnetic materials, aimed at enhancing the shielding ability or fabricating magnetic cloaks, are described. Finally, we highlight future challenges and potential advancements in this technology.
