The Project for the New High Field Facility

Since High Field Laboratory for Superconducting Materials attached to Institute for Materials Research of Tohoku University started, 15 years has passed. We have had plenty of fruitful scientific and technological results not only in a field of superconductivity but also in areas of magnetism, semiconductors, organic conductors, chemical and biological materials and crystallography. The equipments in the Laboratory, however, are now getting aged and the available high field of 31 T obtained by our hybrid magnet, which used to be the highest in the world, must be graded up. The committee of the Laboratory has been discussing on the development of equipments and expansion of research fields for the new facility
