High Magnetic Field Condensed Matter Physics Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that explores new aspects of magnetic materials that emerge under strong magnetic fields.

AboutAbout the lab
In search of new magnetism brought about by high magnetic fields.
The High Magnetic Field Condensed Matter Physics Lab (Division of Magnetic Physics, Institute for Materials Research) uses intense magnetic fields that do not exist in everyday life to study new states of magnetic materials that appear under extreme conditions, and their origins.
Among the external environments used to control matter, a high magnetic field is the external field whose strength, time structure, and history can be controlled most precisely.
Using both static and pulsed high magnetic fields, the lab develops cutting-edge experimental techniques such as terahertz ESR, high-field X-ray spectroscopy, and neutron scattering instruments, and applies them not only in Japan but also overseas.
Key terms
- High magnetic field
- Among the external environments used to control matter, the external field whose strength, time structure, and history can be controlled most precisely
- X-ray circular dichroism spectroscopy
- A spectroscopic technique that measures the magnetization of a material separately for each element
- Split-type pulsed high-field magnet
- A magnet for X-ray free-electron laser diffraction instruments. Although ultra-compact, with a volume of about 15 cc, it can produce fields exceeding 40 tesla
ResearchResearch themes
Magnetic fields act not only on magnets but on all materials. The lab uses strong magnetic fields to study new states of magnetic materials that appear under extreme conditions and their origins, and also develops cutting-edge experimental techniques for this purpose.
New Phases Induced by High Magnetic Fields
Using techniques such as terahertz ESR, high-field X-ray spectroscopy, and neutron scattering, the lab studies new phases induced by high magnetic fields in magnetic materials with strong electron correlations, superconductors, and organic conductors. It also uses macroscopic approaches such as transport and thermal property measurements to study magnetic-field control of novel quantum states.

The split-type pulsed high-field magnet for X-ray free-electron laser diffraction instruments is ultra-compact, with a volume of about 15 cc, yet can generate ultra-high magnetic fields exceeding 40 tesla. Using it, the lab succeeded in measuring the weak diffraction signal from the charge density wave of a high-temperature superconductor in a high magnetic field, which had previously been impossible.
*Illustrative imageUltra-High-Field X-ray Circular Dichroism Spectroscopy
In collaboration with JASRI, the lab developed and installed an ultra-high-field X-ray circular dichroism spectroscopy instrument at beamline BL25SU of SPring-8. It can measure the magnetization of a material separately for each element under an ultra-high field of 40 tesla, and is proving powerful in the study of magnetic materials.
