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.
Lisa Rossi, Lijnis Nelemans, Ben Bryant, HFML Nijmegen. Together with technicians and scientists from HFML Nijmegen, PhD student Lisa Rossi designed and built a scanning probe microscope (SPM) for operation at cryogenic temperatures in extremely high magnetic fields. It is the only one in the world that can measure in fields above 30 Tesla.
Jérôme Béard, LNCMI-Toulouse On February 10, 2017, the LNCMI team in Toulouse has managed to generate, non-destructively, 98.8 T as shown in Figure 1. To obtain this result it was necessary to combine three independent concentric coils, shown in Figure 2, energized by the three main capacitor [...]
William Knafo, LNCMI-Toulouse, Daniel Braithwaite, CEA-Grenoble, Rikio Settai, University of Niigata Combined extreme conditions of high pressure and strong magnetic field are an extremely powerful tool to tune microscopic interactions in order to attain and study new states of matter. While high-pressure measurements in static magnetic fields [...]
Sylvie George, Nicolas Bruyant, Jérôme Béard, Stefano Scotto, Ennio Arimondo, Remy Battesti, Donatella Ciampini, Carlo Rizzo We have realized a new technique to measure pulsed magnetic fields based on the use of rubidium in the gas phase as a metrological standard. For that, we have developed a [...]
O. Drachenko, A. Miyata, O. Portugall, P. Plochocka, A. Surrente, LNCMI-Toulouse and R. J. Nicholas, University of Oxford The Toulouse MegaGauss installation routinely generates magnetic fields well above 100 tesla. The magnetic field is generated in a semi-destructive manner; the coil, producing the magnetic field, disintegrates during every pulse, [...]
Alessandro Surrente, Atsuhiko Miyata, Oliver Portugall, and Paulina Plochocka, LNCMI-Toulouse Magnetic fields exceeding 100 T can be obtained only by semi-destructive methods. In one approach, the magnetic field is generated by a single-turn coil, which explodes during the pulse leaving the cryostat where the sample is mounted intact. [...]
