“…In the present day, the peak surface magnetic field around B 0 ≃ 150 mT has been commonly achieved by using the set of modern surface-preparation techniques: electropolishing followed by a heat treatment for hydrogen degassing [3,4], high-pressure rinsing [5,6,7], clean assembly [8], low temperature baking [9,10,11,12], and local grind combined with optical inspection technique [13,14,15,16,17,18]. Some laboratories have achieved [19,20], where B are the lower critical field and the thermodynamic critical field, respectively. Further high fields, however, would not be expected because the present record field is thought to be close to the theoretical field limit, namely, the superheating field B ).…”
