Tommy Kotte, HLD. The conventional classification of magnetic materials has long been based on their distinction as either ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic, determined by the presence or absence of a discernible net magnetic moment. In the ferromagnetic state, the break of [...]

Simon Tardieu, Florence Lecouturier-Dupouy, LNCMI Toulouse, and Christophe Laurent, Université de Toulouse. The generation of record pulsed magnetic fields above 100 T requires the use of coils wound with low-resistivity wires in order to limit the heating, and with a [...]

D. Santos-Cottin, University of Fribourg, Milan Orlita, LNCMI-Grenoble and Ana Akrap, University of Fribourg. Weyl semimetals are an exciting new group of materials, showing unique signatures in their transport and optical behavior, inherited from their distinct topological features. The presence [...]

P. Chudzinski, M. Berben, Queen’s University Belfast, UK, and N. E. Hussey, HFML-FELIX. A team of researchers from HFML-FELIX, UK, USA, and China have discovered a rare phenomenon known as “emergent symmetry” in Li0,9Mo6O17(LMO). At room temperature, LMO is a [...]

Catalina Salazar Mejia, HLD. Magnetic-refrigeration and hydrogen-liquefaction technology based on the magnetocaloric effect are emerging as climate-friendly alternatives to conventional methods. To make these applications a reality, the proper characterization of the respective materials is now more crucial than ever. [...]

Walter Escoffier, Michel Goiran, Mathieu Pierre, LNCMI Toulouse, and Oleg Makarovsky, University of Nottingham, UK. Perovskite/graphene field effect transistors (FETs) have garnered substantial attention owing to their unique optical properties and potential for applications in electronics and optoelectronics, including ultra-sensitive [...]

Michał Grzybowski, Eindhoven University of Technology and University of Warsaw, and Uli Zeitler, HFML Nijmegen. Antiferromagnetic thin-film materials are robust against a magnetic field making them promising to be used in numerous spintronic applications. The magnetic properties of an antiferromagnet [...]

Artem Mishchenko, University of Manchester, UK and Benjamin Piot, LNCMI Grenoble. Graphite is made out of a stacking of layers of carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb lattice. This recurring pattern gets disrupted at the surfaces of the crystal which [...]

Robert A. Jagt, Bartomeu Monserrat, Judith L. MacManus-Driscoll, Robert L. Z. Hoye, University of Cambridge, UK and Paulina Płochocka, LNCMI Toulouse. Modern advances in x-ray imaging have greatly improved the quality of medical care. The ability to detect low doses [...]

Sergei Zherlitsyn, HLD Dresden. By investigating the Shastry-Sutherland compound SrCu2(BO3)2 up to the saturation magnetic field of 140 T and beyond, researchers from Japan, the Netherlands, and Switzerland together with scientists from the HLD have succeeded in identifying several spin-supersolid [...]
