Abstract:
A pulsed magnetic field is one of the most important tools for scientific research,in particular for condensed matter physics. With pulsed magnets it is easy to obtain fields over 50 T. In the last 20 years the technology has developed rapidly, and the record non-destructive field has increased from 60 to 100 T. Besides the half-sine waveform, the long pulse,multi-stage pulse and flat-top waveforms are also available. With the development of pulsed power and control technology, pulsed magnetic fields with high stability over a certain period have been achieved, which broadens the scope of applications. To meet the demands of X-ray experiments,neutron scattering experiments and terahertz science, high pulse repetition rate and special structure fast cooling magnets have been developed. In this paper the status and future development of pulsed high magnetic fields will be described.
