Elena Blundo, Antonio Polimeni, Sapienza University of Rome, Adam Babiński, University of Warsaw, and Peter Christianen, HFML Nijmegen Strain plays an important role in two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors. Thanks to their all-surface nature, these 2D materials feature an extraordinary capability to bear mechanical deformations without fracturing. This resilience to stress reveals [...]
J. Chang, Zürich University, M. Ichioka, Okayama University, D. Campbell, D. Le Boeuf, LNCMI Grenoble. In the physics of correlated electron systems, van Hove singularities play a key role. These are points in the band structure where the density of states is singular. When the Fermi level is tuned towards [...]

I started my career at the University of Stuttgart, where I studied high-temperature superconductors during my PhD. Then, I joined two consecutive European research [...]
Neutron diffraction in pulsed field using the CEA-CRG spectrometer IN22 at the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL), Grenoble. In recent years, the use of high magnetic fields in conjunction with beamlines has become increasingly important. For that, a mobile pulsed-field installation, developed at LNCMI Toulouse, is available to users at the ILL [...]
After two years of rather impersonal prize ceremonies the EMFL Board of Directors was happy to hand over the EMFL prize 2022 in person to Dr. Mateusz Dyksik, who currently holds an assistant professor position at the Wrocław University of Science and Technology in Poland. The prize ceremony took place [...]
Photo © Alexandra Gasparini After the online user meeting last year, it was a pleasure to see quite a number of users and staff in reality during this year‘s meeting. The 2022 edition of the EMFL user meeting took place in Grenoble at the LNCMI on June 15 in hybrid [...]
Denis Gorbunov, HLD Dresden. Optical excitations in solids require conservation of momentum and energy. This applies also to magnetic excitations, when a magnon with a given momentum and energy is created / annihilated by absorbing / emitting a photon. The small photon momentum typically confines possible excitations close to the [...]
Vincent Oliviero, David Vignolles, Cyril Proust, LNCMI Toulouse. In the last few years, high-magnetic-field studies have allowed great breakthroughs in the understanding of the physics of high-Tc cuprate superconductors. Here, we report the measurements of quantum oscillations and Hall effect in high magnetic fields up to 88 T in the [...]
Jan Wyzula, Milan Orlita, LNCMI-CNRS Grenoble and Mark O. Goerbig, LPS-CNRS Orsay Ever since the advent of graphene and topological materials, relativistic physics has become an integral part of condensed-matter sciences. While emergent, it is important to stress that this type of relativity is pertinent beyond the dispersion of the [...]
Peter Christianen, HFML Nijmegen. The development of pulsed, high-intensity terahertz free-electron lasers (FELs) has enabled the investigation of nonlinear phenomena in molecules and solids in the terahertz regime. To expand their potential, recently THz FELs were combined with high magnetic fields in some laboratories around the world. At HFML-FELIX, researchers [...]
