In May 2023, the HFML-FELIX technical user support group, Peter Albers, Lijnis Nelemans and Michel Peters, from Nijmegen visited the LNCMI pulsed-field facility in Toulouse. The aim was the exchange of knowledge on various magnet and measurement technologies between the two laboratories. Scientists and engineers from the LNCMI warmly welcomed [...]
Robert A. Jagt, Bartomeu Monserrat, Judith L. MacManus-Driscoll, Robert L. Z. Hoye, University of Cambridge, UK and Paulina Płochocka, LNCMI Toulouse. Modern advances in x-ray imaging have greatly improved the quality of medical care. The ability to detect low doses of x-rays is critical to the development of safe radiological [...]
Sergei Zherlitsyn, HLD Dresden. By investigating the Shastry-Sutherland compound SrCu2(BO3)2 up to the saturation magnetic field of 140 T and beyond, researchers from Japan, the Netherlands, and Switzerland together with scientists from the HLD have succeeded in identifying several spin-supersolid phases (SSPs) between the 1/2 magnetization plateau and saturation (1/1 [...]
Oleksandr Zheliuk, HFML Nijmegen. Scientists from the University of Groningen, together with colleagues from HFML Nijmegen, the University of Twente, and the Harbin Institute of Technology (China), have discovered the existence of a superconducting state that was first predicted in 2017. In particular, they present evidence for a special variant [...]

The MMM 2023 Conference will take place at the Hyatt Regency Dallas from October 30 to November 3, 2023. Members of the international scientific and engineering communities interested in recent developments in fundamental and applied magnetism are invited to attend and contribute to the technical sessions. The technical program [...]
Hannes Kühne, HLD Dresden. Two-dimensional (2D) spin systems with an XY anisotropy are known to undergo a Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) phase transition at a finite temperature TBKT, which marks the binding of topological defects in vortex-antivortex pairs. So far, experimental efforts to probe a genuine BKT transition in bulk materials were [...]
Ramakanta Chapai, J. F. Mitchell and Ulrich Welp, Argonne National Laboratory, Vincent Oliviero, Maxime Leroux, LNCMI Toulouse. The recently discovered-kagome lattice compounds AV3Sb5 (A = K, Rb, Cs) show a fascinating interplay of superconductivity, charge density wave (CDW) order, and nontrivial topology of the electronic band structure. The CDW order [...]
Matija Čulo, Institute of Physics, Zagreb, Croatia and Nigel Hussey, HFML and University of Bristol, UK. High-temperature superconductivity is one of the biggest unsolved problems in condensed-matter physics, due to its unconventional superconducting (SC) pairing mechanism, which goes beyond the standard electron-phonon interaction. Many materials with such an unconventional SC [...]
