Pierre Pugnat, Rolf Pfister, and Luc Ronayette, LNCMI-Grenoble. The hybrid magnet in construction at LNCMI-Grenoble is based onthe combination of resistive inserts, made of Bitter and polyhelix coils, with a large-bore superconducting outsert. It will produce in a first step, an overall continuous magnetic field of 43 T in a [...]
Toni Helm, HLD Dresden. Strongly correlated electron materials, in particular heavy-fermion compounds, offer a huge playground for research on fundamental concepts in condensed-matter physics. The antiferromagnetic (AFM) metal CeRhIn5 provides a textbook example of quantum criticality in a heavy-fermion system: Pressure suppresses local-moment AFM order and induces superconductivity in a [...]
Mateusz Dyksik, Wroclaw University and Paulina Plochocka, LNCMI-Toulouse. Two-dimensional organic-inorganic halide perovskites have generated tremendous interest in the field of optoelectronics for applications in low-cost and efficient light absorbers and emitters. Similar to their three-dimensional (3D) ancestors, the layered perovskite derivatives exhibit promising performance in photovoltaic and lightemitting devices, [...]
David Leboeuf and Marc-Henri Julien, LNCMI-Grenoble. Extensive studies of cuprate superconductors have shown that, after three-dimensional Néel order disappears upon hole doping (p), there are still remnants of spin order at low temperature in the form of a glass-like freezing of incommensurate antiferromagnetic correlations. However, the importance of the [...]
Uli Zeitler, HFML Nijmegen. The fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE), observed in low-temperature magnetotransport experiments in two-dimensional (2D) electron systems and caused by the electron-electron interaction, can be regarded as an ultimate proof of device quality in terms of quantum mobility, homogeneity, and low residual impurities. Until recently, the observation [...]
