Together with partners the three European Magnetic Field Laboratories, joined in EMFL, have been awarded two EU Horizon 2020 grants: one to develop all-superconducting user magnets beyond 40 Tesla (2.9 M€), and one to expand EMFL’s industrial and user community (4.9 M€). With these grants, EMFL will strengthen its long-term sustainability and invest in the design of beyond-state-of-the-art magnets. Some recent advances open the way for the implementation of fully superconducting magnets, combining low- and high-temperature superconductor (HTS) technology for the magnets at the EMFL facilities. These magnets will partly replace current high-field resistive magnets in the future, [...]

HFML-FELIX has been awarded 15.1 million euros for the development of advanced instrumentation and new experimental techniques. The grant is part of The National Roadmap for Large-Scale Research Facilities of the Dutch Research Council (NWO) which enables the building or renovation of research facilities with international allure. HFML-FELIX represents a world-unique research infrastructure in the Netherlands, working in the forefront in science and technology with respect to magnets and free-electron lasers. It serves as an open-access, international user facility, which hosts more than 500 guest researchers per year. Then again, HFML itself is one the three European Magnetic [...]

Photo (©): Km Rubi In order to extend the field range (0 - 30 T) of the data measured at HFML-Nijmegen, I performed magnetotransport measurements on an ionic-liquid gated two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) at complex oxides interface in pulsed magnetic fields up to 60 T and at temperatures down to 350 mK at LNCMI-Toulouse. These complementary data will certainly help to better understand the complex quantumoscillation spectra in the 2DEG at oxide interfaces. Apart from the measurements, I had the opportunity to discuss the obtained results and strategies for common publications with the LNCMI [...]
