NATIONAL HIGH MAGNETIC-FIELD LABORATORY - FACILITIES AND SCIENTIFIC OPPORTUNITIES

The National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL) develops and operates high magnetic field facilities at its main location at Florida State University, as well as facilities at Los Alamos National Laboratory and the University of Florida. The NHMFL is a user facility supported by the United States National Science Foundation and the State of Florida and is available to qualified users through a proposal submission process. The facilities available or under development include superconducting magnets (B less-than-or-equal-to 20 T), resistive (B less-than-or-equal-to 25-35 T depending on bore and power), hybrid (B less-than-or-equal-to 45-50 T) magnets and pulsed magnets (B less-than-or-equal-to 60 T for 100 ms, B less-than-or-equal-to 50-60 T for 10-20 ms and B less-than-or-equal-to 250 T for 5-20 mus) along with ultra-low temperature and specialized NMR systems and instrumentation packages. The facilities and staff will support research and testing at the extremes of parameter space, temperature, magnetic field and pressure, along with advancing magnet technology in support of a diverse user community.
