It there specific shape or amount of layers needed to shield a small rare earth magnet? The magnet is about an inch long and .5 inch in diameter. I want the magentic field to only come off one end of the magnet and shield all the other sides. Is this possible?

I dont believe that what you are proposing is possible. There will always be magnetic lines of flux extending from the North pole to the South pole of the magnet. It possible to "move" the lines of flux by using shielding (like mumetal) or by using another magnetic field to influence the first one, but the lines of flux will still extend from one pole to the other. ..

Depends on what you are doin, exactly. Mumetal is a material designed for magnetic shielding.:

it seems to me that in order to properly sheild anycarbon based element is to find its counterpart in the ionic field we do not live in.the positive feild to our negativefeild
