Wuhan, capital city of Hubei province in the People‘s Republic of China, was the first urban center worldwide to get hit hard by the Corona pandemic. Now, months later, the situation on site is slowly getting back to normal. On April 8, 2020, the Wuhan lockdown officially ended. Meanwhile, [...]

He came from the Forschungszentrum Jülich, where he was a member of the Executive Board and has been responsible since November 2007 for the research [...]
Together with partners the three European Magnetic Field Laboratories, joined in EMFL, have been awarded two EU Horizon 2020 grants: one to develop all-superconducting user magnets beyond 40 Tesla (2.9 M€), and one to expand EMFL’s industrial and user community (4.9 M€). With these grants, EMFL will strengthen its [...]

I am currently in my first year of PhD at LNCMI in Grenoble under the supervision of David Le Bœuf and Marc-Henri Julien. I passed a master’s degree in fundamental physics at Ecole Normale Supérieure in Lyon. During [...]
HFML-FELIX has been awarded 15.1 million euros for the development of advanced instrumentation and new experimental techniques. The grant is part of The National Roadmap for Large-Scale Research Facilities of the Dutch Research Council (NWO) which enables the building or renovation of research facilities with international allure. HFML-FELIX represents [...]

PhD student Adrià Gràcia-Condal from the University of Barcelona came to visit the HLD at the Helmholtz-Zentrum DresdenRossendorf [...]
Due to the increasing rate of COVID-19 (Corona virus) infections world-wide and the travel restrictions introduced by many countries, the European Magnetic Field Laboratory decided to stop its operational activities until further notice. Users that have been scheduled and will be affected by this decision will be rescheduled to [...]
Denis Gorbunov, HLD Dresden. The physical properties of uranium-based intermetallic compounds depend strongly on the degree of localization of the 5f electrons. The extended character of the 5f states leads to a high sensitivity to external parameters. The pronounced spin-orbit interaction of uranium provides significant orbital polarization of the [...]
Walter Escoffier, Michel Goiran, LNCMI Toulouse and Km Rubi, HFML Nijmegen. The discovery of a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) at the interface between the two insulators LaAlO3 (LAO) and SrTiO3 (STO) has not only enhanced the expectations of oxide-electronics but has also brought new and exciting opportunities to explore [...]
