Flatlands beyond Graphene is a series of conferences, which has established as a platform for engaging exchange and discussions of the latest exciting developments on the theoretical modelling and experimental progress in the field of layered materials beyond graphene. This exceptional event encompasses the forefront of advancements in synthesis, characterization, [...]
The Industrial Partners Club (IPC) of EMFL had its second webinar on June 20th, 2024. It brought together around 40 participants, of which 15 were from industrial companies, 5 from public institutions completed by scientific and technical staff from EMFL. The webinar started with a brief presentation of the EMFL [...]
© Peter Albers (HFML-FELIX). The 13th International Conference on Research in High Magnetic Fields (RHMF 2024) was held in Nijmegen, the Netherlands from 7 to 11 July 2024. The conference was hosted by HFML-FELIX, Radboud University Nijmegen and attracted more than 100 participants from countries all over the world. The [...]

The beneficiaries of the EU Horizon-funded “Flexibility in Research Infrastructures for global CArbon Neutrality” (FlexRICAN) project inaugurated its launch during a kick-off meeting held on March 11-12, 2024 at the European Spallation Source (ESS) in Lund, Sweden. The 3-year FlexRICAN project, coordinated by ESS, has the ambitious goal [...]
© EMFL. During the User Meeting in Nottingham, Elena Blundo received the EMFL prize 2024. Jochen Wosnitza, chair of the EMFL prize committee, had the honor of presenting the prize in a traditional small prize ceremony. The EMFL prize was established in 2009 and recognizes outstanding achievements related to [...]
© EMFL. The EMFL User Meeting 2024 took place at the University of Nottingham on 11 June; after 2017, the second time at this place. The EMFL Board of Directors has chosen this venue to underline the continuing collaboration of the UK community with EMFL, through grant agreements between EPSRC [...]
Alex Eaton, University of Cambridge, UK and Yurii Skourski, HLD. Scientists from the UK, USA, Czech Republic, and Germany have studied the Fermi surface of the heavy-fermion superconductor UTe2. This material is of particular interest given its high likelihood of hosting a spin-triplet Cooper-pairing mechanism. Evidence for this stems primarily [...]
Tristan Thebault, William Knafo, LNCMI Toulouse, Daniel Braithwaite, Gérard Lapertot, Georg Knebel, CEA-Grenoble, and Dai Aoki, Tohoku University. The interplay between magnetism and unconventional superconductivity in UTe2 was extensively studied in the past few years. Multiple superconducting phases were found to be induced near to a metamagnetic transition under magnetic [...]
Y. Tokunaga, Japan Atomic Energy Agency, Tokai, Japan, M. Horvatić and Steffen Krämer, LNCMI Grenoble. The uranium-based superconductor UTe2 provides an attractive platform for studying the novel physics of spin-triplet and topological superconductivity in bulk materials. Resistivity measurements performed in 2019 at LNCMI, both in continuous and pulsed fields, revealed that [...]
Maurice Bal, HFML Nijmegen. Since its discovery in 1980 by von Klitzing et al., the quantum Hall effect (QHE) has been measured in many different 2D systems, mainly at cryogenic temperatures. Currently, graphene is the only material that displays the QHE at room temperature (RT). Considering that the robustness of [...]
