The National High Magnetic Field Laboratory: Condensed Matter Science in Continuous Magnetic Fields

The National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL) operates three facilities in support of magnet-related research. The main facilities are located at Florida State University, Tallahassee, Florida, the ultra-low-temperature high-magnetic-field facilities are located at the University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida, and the pulsed field facilities are located at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, New Mexico. These facilities support a wide variety of magnet-related research capabilities that are open to all qualified users through a peer-reviewed proposal process. This paper summarizes the research capabilities at the DC facilities at the main facility of the NHMFL and the High B/T Facility at the University of Florida. A few select scientific achievements in the high field condensed matter sciences are presented to highlight the research capabilities available to all users. The NHMFL is supported by the United States National Science Foundation and the State of Florida.
