Abstract

A magnetic shield including a first layer and a second layer and shielding an environmental magnetic field is obtained by manufacturing the first layer that is configured by a first material and that includes a hollow portion on the inside and the second layer that is configured by a second material that is different from the first material and which is a hollow member and placing the second layer in the hollow portion of the first layer. With the magnetic shield, in regions between the first layer and the second layer, a material in which the relative magnetic permeability at the strength of the magnetic field at a region that is next to the second layer is high compared to the relative magnetic permeability of the first material at the strength of the magnetic field is selected as the second material that configures the second layer.

Claims (9)

1. A magnetic shield comprising:

three or more hollow members including a center, a first and a second hollow member, wherein

the center hollow member is located innermost among the three or more hollow members,

the first hollow member is configured by a first material,

the second hollow member is configured by a second material that is different from the first material, the second hollow member is disposed inside of the first hollow member without contacting the first hollow member,

the center hollow member is disposed inside of the second hollow member without contacting the second hollow member,

when a magnetic field strength of a region between the first and second hollow members is a reference magnetic field strength, a relative permeability of the second hollow member with respect to the reference magnetic field strength is higher than a relative permeability of the first hollow member with respect to the reference magnetic field strength,

the first hollow member is outermost among the three or more hollow members, and

when a magnetic field strength of a region between the second and the center hollow members is another reference magnetic field strength, a relative permeability of the center hollow member with respect to the another reference magnetic field strength is higher than a relative permeability of the second hollow member with respect to the reference magnetic field strength.
