High temperature superconducting (HTS) bulks and stacks of coated conductors can be magnetized
to become trapped-field magnets that provide much stronger magnetic fields than those reachable
with conventional permanent magnets. This work investigates the flux dynamics during the
magnetization of HTS trapped-field magnets and proposes possible strategies to improve the
trapped field produced by the pulsed field magnetization method that is promising for practical
applications.
