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 [...]

Matsuda, IMGSL-ISSP Kashiwa, University of Tokyo. 40 years ago, Prof. Chikazumi launched a project to realize extremely high magnetic fields by using electromagnetic flux compression (EMFC) at ISSP, and the project was taken over by Profs. Miura and Takayama. In 2018, a magnetic [...]
It is our pleasure to invite you to the 27th International Conference on Magnet Technology (MT27) which will be held at Fukuoka International Congress Center, Fukuoka, Japan from November 15 to 19, 2021. Before the conference, an outreach event including public lecture will also be held on November 14 [...]
