The primary objective of the EU funded design study SuperEMFL is to add an entirely new dimension to the EMFL through the development of all-superconducting user magnets at unprecedented field strengths of 40 T and beyond, granting the European high-field user community access to such high superconducting magnetic fields, more [...]
Since January 1, 2021, there have been some changes in the composition of the EMFL Board of Directors (BoD). Geert Rikken has stepped down as director of LNCMI and is succeeded by Charles Simon, who will join the EMFL BoD. Peter Christianen, director of HFML, fills the BoD chair position. [...]
S. Galeski, J. Gooth, MPI CPfS and T. Förster, HLD Dresden. The quantum Hall effect is a prominent example of a quantum phenomenon that is of great importance for research in solid-state physics and the application of electronic devices. Since 1990, it defines the standard used in resistance calibrations. It [...]
Mateusz Dyksik, Wrocław University of Science and Technology and Paulina Plochocka, LNCMI Toulouse. Two-dimensional (2D) metal-halide perovskites constitute an important step in the evolution of low-cost organic-inorganic hybrid light absorbers and emitters. Similar to their 3D counterparts, layered perovskites show promising performance in photovoltaic and light emitting devices while preserving [...]
Nigel Hussey, HFML and Anthony Carrington, University of Bristol. Researchers from the UK and Japan, together with scientists from three of the EMFL laboratories, have uncovered a striking crossover in the Hall resistivity across the so-called strange-metal phase of overdoped cuprate superconductors [1]. The work builds on a seminal work [...]
Sanu Mishra and Ilya Sheikin, LNCMI Grenoble, Tobias Förster, HLD Dresden, and Alix McCollam, HFML Nijmegen. Rare-earth-based materials are now widely recognized as an ideal playground for exploration of the fascinating physics that develops around a quantum critical point (QCP). In Ce-based compounds, such a QCP typically separates an antiferromagnetic [...]

EMFL is a member of the Analytical Research Infrastructures of Europe (ARIEs) consortium. The ARIEs are centers of scientific and technological excellence, delivering services, data, and expertise to a growing and diverse user community of more than 40,000 researchers in academia and industry, across a range of domains: the physical [...]
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 [...]
