Rolf Pfister, Michael Kamke, Eric Verney, Mickaël Pelloux, Eyub Yildiz, Luc Ronayette, and Pierre Pugnat, LNCMI Grenoble. The hybrid magnet, combining resistive and superconducting technologies and that is under construction at LNCMI-Grenoble, has reached important milestones in 2021 despite the Covid-19 sanitary crisis. After a thorough preparation phase, we successfully [...]
Raivo Stern, NICPB Tallinn. After the cancellation of the user meeting in 2020 due to the worldwide pandemic shutdown, the EMFL and its user community adopted to the “new reality” and gathered online for its annual user meeting for 2021. The high participation of up to 140 people showed the [...]
Toni Helm, HLD Dresden. Currently, a group of semimetals excites the physics community due to its intriguing properties derived from massless chiral particles— so-called Weyl fermions. As a consequence of linear band crossings at the Fermi energy and a high Fermi velocity, massless Weyl states can be the origin of [...]
Jérôme Béard, LNCMI Toulouse. We have designed a novel pulsed magnetic dipole, called foil coil, which can deliver a transverse magnetic field of more than 10 T along a 0.85 m optical access operating without cryogenic equipment. This magnet is dedicated to linear magnetic birefringence measurements in the framework of [...]
Jake Ayres, University of Bristol, Maarten Berben and Nigel Hussey, HFML Nijmegen. Researchers from HFML-EMFL, UK, Netherlands, and Japan studied the high-field magnetotransport properties of overdoped high-Tc cuprates and found behavior that is strikingly different from that of ordinary metals. For the latter, the resistivity increases quadratically with temperature and [...]
Piotr Kapuściński and Marek Potemski, LNCMI Grenoble. Strong Coulomb correlations together with multi-valley electronic bands in the presence of spin-orbit interaction are at the heart of studies of the rich physics of excitons in semiconductor structures made of monolayers of transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMD). These archetypes of two-dimensional systems promise the [...]

After a master’s degree in medical biology with a minor in business management, I started working as an application specialist at Artinis, a company, which develops and sells equipment that uses near-infrared spectroscopy. One of the main components of my [...]
The 29th International Conference on Low Temperature Physics, LT29, was postponed by two years due to the pandemic. Now the activities towards the LT29 conference to be held on August 18 to 24, 2022 have been restarted. We are happy to inform you that the conference will be held hybrid: [...]
CANCELED!!! SHANGHAI Shanghai, the largest city in the mainland of China, is one of the four municipalities directly under the central government. It is the economic, financial, trade and shipping center of the mainland of China. The world record association of China has created and broke many of the world's [...]
