Abstract: High temperature superconducting (HTS) magnets have widespread applications in a strong and steady magnetic field at low temperature. However, they can not be operated in persistent current mode (PCM) due to their immature joint technique without resistance. In order to realize the PCM, an HTS magnet stacked by double-hole rectangular HTS plates was proposed and fabricated. The trapped field of the HTS magnet was measured and simulated under four kinds of magnetization methods, field cooling (FC), zero field cooling (ZFC) and inner magnetization (a solenoid is placed at right/left hole of double-hole rectangular HTS magnet to magnetize HTS magnet) as well as combination of both methods. Meanwhile, the H-formulation is applied to the 3D model to analyze the electromagnetic behaviour. It was found that the trapped field of double-hole rectangular HTS magnet magnetized by FC with inner magnetization or ZFC with inner magnetization is higher than pure FC or ZFC magnetization. In inner magnetization, the trapped field of one hole in HTS magnet has no effect on the other one. In addition, the experiment results are in good agreement with numerical analysis, which can provide significant references for the magnetization method.
