Xavier Chaud, LNCMI Grenoble. The development of high-temperature superconductor (HTS) inserts for all superconducting magnets for fields above 23 T is highly desirable. With practically zero power consumption this will make possible long-duration experiments at a low operation cost and will be greatly beneficial for physics, chemistry, and live [...]
In the beginning of March 2018, a major milestone in the development of the 45 T hybrid magnet at HFML in Nijmegen has been achieved with the completion of the superconducting coil for the outsert magnet. The building process of the coil, with an outer diameter of 1.2 meter, [...]
Zhe Wang, HZDR Dresden and A. Loidl, University of Augsburg. In his seminal work entitled “Eigenwerte und Eigenfunktionen der linearen Atomkette” (eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of a linear chain of atoms), published in 1931 in “Zeitschrift für Physik”, Hans Bethe succeeded in finding an exact solution to the one dimensional [...]
F. Laliberté, M. Frachet, S. Benhabib, B. Borgnic, C. Proust, D. LeBoeuf, LNCMI-Toulouse. In hole-doped cuprates there is now compelling evidence that inside the pseudogap phase, a charge density wave (CDW) breaks translational symmetry. In YBa2Cu3Oy (YBCO) this CDW emerges in two steps: a two-dimensional (2D) order found at [...]
J. Lu, Peking University and J. Ye, University of Groningen and I. Leermakers, N. Hussey, U. Zeitler, HFML-Nijmegen. Compared with three-dimensional superconductors, atomically thin superconductors are expected to be easier to engineer for electronic applications. In this project, researchers from University of Groningen (Netherlands) together with colleagues from HFML [...]
Marc-Henri Julien, LNCMI Grenoble. The upper critical field, Hc2, is a fundamental, and technologically important property that measures the ability of a superconductor to withstand magnetic fields. Recently, there has been a controversy regarding Hc2 values in high-Tc copper-oxides, particularly in the context of the competition between superconductivity and [...]
LNCMI, France. Published on Mar 6, 2019. I am group leader for the development of high-strength materials at the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), Laboratoire National des Champs Magnétiques Intenses. I obtained an Engineer diploma in physics/materials science from the National Institute for Applied Sciences in Toulouse [...]
T. Gottschall, HLD Dresden. The giant magnetocaloric effect, in which large thermal changes are induced in a material on the application of a magnetic field, can be used for refrigeration applications. However, commercial uptake is limited. Researchers from Barcelona, Darmstadt, and the HLD proposed an approach to magnetic cooling [...]
A 40-T pulsed magnet for single crystal elastic neutron scattering, featuring an unprecedented high duty cycle, now offers new opportunities to investigate magnetic systems down to 2 K at the Institut Laue Langevin (ILL) in Grenoble (France).
Gabriel Seyfarth, LNCMI Grenoble. A new Faraday-balance magnetometer for low temperatures and high magnetic fields has been developed at LNCMI Grenoble. It has been designed to probe the sample magnetization. The determination of absolute values is possible via separate calibration measurements.
