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.
- 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.
- Spintronics: X-ray microscopy unravels the nature of domain wallsMagnetic skyrmions are tiny vortices of magnetic spin textures. In principle, materials with skyrmions could be used as spintronic devices, for example as very fast and energy-efficient data storage devices. But at the moment it is still difficult to control and manipulate skyrmions at room temperature. A new study at BESSY II analyses the formation of skyrmions in ferrimagnetic thin films of dysprosium and cobalt in real time and with high spatial resolution. This is an important step towards characterising suitable materials with skyrmions more precisely in the future.
