Since many years, strong links exist between HFML-FELIX at Radboud University (RU) and HLD as well as the ELBE facility at HZDR in Dresden. In Nijmegen, continuous high magnetic fields and pulsed infrared and THz light are generated, while Dresden is specialized in pulsed fields and continuous light. Both sites offer a unique combination of [...]

Since 2009, the EMFL Board of Directors announces annually the EMFL prize for exceptional achievements in science done in high magnetic fields. An award committee selects the prize winner from the nominations received. This year, the prize went to Dr. Jake Ayres, who currently holds a Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship at the University of Bristol, UK. During the user meeting in Nijmegen, Jochen Wosnitza, chair of the prize committee, had the honor of presenting the prize in a traditional small prize ceremony. Jake Ayres, who performed his PhD work at HFML in Nijmegen, is a regular user of the [...]

The EMFL User Meeting 2023, combined with the HFML-FELIX user meeting and a workshop on the combination of high magnetic fields and THz radiation took place in Nijmegen from 13-15 June 2023. The meeting started on Tuesday afternoon with an opening statement from HFML-FELIX director Britta Redlich and a plenary talk by Steen Brøndsted Nielsen (Aarhus University) addressed to the large group of both national and international attendees interested in research combining high magnetic fields and THz radiation. Subsequently, [...]
