Invitation: Reception Final Assembly of HFM
Six years full of hard work with planning and constructing the High-Field Magnet for Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin we are proud to inform you that the final assembly is now complete.
Before further test are going to start and the neutron beamline will be connected, we like to invite you to a reception at the lecture hall at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin Wannsee on Thursday, July 10th at 11 am.
The reception includes short lectures from Dr. Peter Smeibidl (Project Manager HFM), Dr. Mark Bird (NHMFL Tallahassee) and Bernd Tibes (DGI Architects).
After a lunch buffet we provide a guided tour to see the High-Field Magnet and Technikum building and give you the opportunity to talk to the scientist and engineers.
Please get in contact with Stefanie Kodalle by July 8th to register for the reception and indicate if you want to use the shuttle service from Adlershof and return.
Please find attached a detailed programme in the download box.
- A new way to control the magnetic properties of rare earth elementsThe special properties of rare earth magnetic materials are due to the electrons in the 4f shell. Until now, the magnetic properties of 4f electrons were considered almost impossible to control. Now, a team from HZB, Freie Universität Berlin and other institutions has shown for the first time that laser pulses can influence 4f electrons- and thus change their magnetic properties. The discovery, which was made through experiments at EuXFEL and FLASH, opens up a new way to data storage with rare earth elements.
- Spintronics: A new path to room temperature swirling spin texturesA team at HZB has investigated a new, simple method at BESSY II that can be used to create stable radial magnetic vortices in magnetic thin films.
- Neutron experiment at BER II reveals new spin phase in quantum materialsNew states of order can arise in quantum magnetic materials under magnetic fields. An international team has now gained new insights into these special states of matter through experiments at the Berlin neutron source BER II and its High-Field Magnet. BER II served science until the end of 2019 and has since been shut down. Results from data at BER II are still being published.
