Description
Magnetic fields have become an indispensable tool for
science to better understand and manipulate ground states of
electronic materials. As magnetic field intensities are
increased the quantum nature of these materials become
exponentially more likely to be observed and this is but one
of the drivers to go further in high magnetic field
generation. At the Los Alamos branch of the National High
Magnetic Field Laboratory we have significant efforts in
extremely high magnetic field generation and
experimentation. In direct opposition with our efforts are
the tremendous electro-mechanical forces exerted on our
magnets. Challenges in magnetic field generation and
research will be presented. Various method of pulsed high
magnetic field generation and experimentation capabilities
will be reviewed, including our recent "World Record" for
the highest non-destructive magnetic field.
