PLANCKIAN DISSIPATION IN HIGH-TC SUPERCONDUCTORS
Cyril Proust, LNCMI-Toulouse and Louis Taillefer, University of Sherbrooke. Measuring the electrical resistance of a new material is often the first experiment that researchers do, but also often the last to be understood. Nevertheless, the temperature dependence of the electrical resistance gives essential information on the ground state of materials.
Electronic phases in high magnetic fields
Electrons are one of the fundamental constituents of solids, responsible for most of the important phenomena and applications in condensed matter physics. Therefore, understanding, controlling and manipulating electronic properties [...]
High magnetic fields for fundamental physics
Following the HIMAFUN workshop held in may 2017 in Toulouse, a review article has been published on Physics Report freely availaible here or DOI
QUANTUM CRITICALITY OF A SPIN-1/2 ANTIFERROMAGNETIC CHAIN
Zhe Wang, HZDR and S. Zherlitsyn, HLD Dresden Understanding quantum phase transitions, i.e., phase transitions at zero temperature driven by non-thermal parameters, has become one of the most significant [...]
Interplay between field quantisation and Bloch states in graphene superlattices
Sergio Pezzini & Uli Zeitler, HFML Nijmegen Using high magnetic-magnetic fields, the Bloch states in two-dimensional graphene superlattices can be influenced in a way that adding fractions of flux [...]
NEW EUROPEAN RECORD FOR NONDESTRUCTIVE PULSED MAGNETIC FIELDS
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 [...]
A BREAKTHROUGH FOR EXTREME CONDITIONS: COMBINED HIGH PRESSURE AND PULSED MAGNETIC FIELD
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 [...]
PULSED HIGH MAGNETIC FIELD MEASUREMENT VIA A RUBIDIUM VAPOR SENSOR
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 [...]
ELECTRONS IN FLAT BANDS
Layered materials can realize different stackings of their individual planes, different polytypes, to compose three-dimensional structures. ABA-stacked graphite is the most stable form of graphite at ambient [...]
Wide-Band Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Above 100 Tesla
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 [...]
