The World Highest Magnetic Field as Indoor Generation and Its Application to Solid State Physics

Abstract

The ultra-high magnetic field project has started at the Institute for Solid State Physics by installing a 5 MJ capacitor bank system applied to the electromagnetic flux compression technique in 1980. We have achieved to generate over 700 T which is the world record as an indoor operation. This is applied to precise measurements in solid state physics in magnetic fields of up to 600 T under extremely low-temperatures. Not only generation of the highest magnetic field but also the reproducibility is substantially improved. Recent development of the magnet technology and its application to an example of the solid state physics are introduced in this report. A 1,000 T project newly started is also described.
