Description
The National High Magnetic Field Laboratory has completed the highest field superconducting magnet worldwide, a 32 T system employing REBCO (Rare Earth Barium Copper Oxide) and traditional Nb3Sn and NbTi. This magnet was the product of an 8-year development effort and will be used for condensed matter physics experiments in Tallahassee, FL. Since then the NHMFL has initiated the development of a 40 T superconducting magnet.
The latest developments worldwide in ultra-high field superconducting magnets are presented along with their implications for magnets for high field neutron scattering.
