A cylindrical single-channel shim coil was developed for a high critical temperature (Tc) superconducting bulk magnet (4.7 Tesla) with a 23 mm diameter room temperature bore. The single channel shim coil was designed using circular current loops periodically placed on the cylindrical surface. The magnetic field distribution in a rectangular region (5 mm x 5 mm x 7 mm) was measured for various shim current values. As a result, about 30% homogeneity improvement was achieved for an optimal current value, which demonstrated usefulness of our approach.
