The authors are investigating the possibility of using bulk magnets in the Maglev system. It is considered that bulk magnets for the Maglev system must be composed of numerous superconducting bulks arranged in rows and columns for each magnet pole because a bulk superconductor with a high critical current density doesn't have a sufficiently large size for Maglev magnet. Therefore, it is necessary to examine the flux-trapping characteristic of superconducting bulks arranged in array. Flux-trapping experiments are performed using the melt-processed YBaCuO superconducting bulks arranged in rows and columns, in which each bulk individually has a magnetizing coil, and the bulks are magnetized by field cooling. It is found that, when the superconducting bulks are arranged in rows and columns, the trapped flux density and the generated magnetic field are smaller than those when a superconducting bulk is used alone. The rate of decreases in the trapped flux density and the generated magnetic field becomes larger with increases in the number of superconducting bulks arranged in array. The trapped flux decreases conspicuously in particular at a superconducting bulk surrounded by other superconducting bulks.
