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 [...]

Km Rubi, HFML Nijmegen. 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 [...]

PhD student Adrià Gràcia-Condal from the University of Barcelona came to visit the HLD at the Helmholtz-Zentrum DresdenRossendorf for one month. Funded by EMFL, expenses for travelling and accommodation were supported with a lump-sum payment of 2.000 €. The scientific purpose of the visit was to design, to manufacture, and to assemble a new uniaxial-load cell for the use in pulsed magnetic fields. With the new insert, [...]
