Fields for Science: Research at the Dresden High Magnetic Field Laboratory

How do matter and materials behave under the influence of strong fields and in smallest dimensions?

In the Helmholtz research sector “Matter,” the basic components of matter and the forces interacting between them are investigated on all microscopic and macroscopic length scales. For this purpose scientists make use of special large-scale research infrastructures of the Helmholtz Association that allow unique measurements under extreme sample conditions. The researchers are developing innovative solutions for the great challenges of our society by investigating novel materials, whose functional properties are often determined by quantum effects.

The Dresden High Magnetic Field Laboratory (HLD) performs experiments at very high magnetic fields. With the application of high magnetic fields, material properties may be modified and controlled. In consequence, experiments at such extreme sample conditions have both the potential to decipher the fundamental properties of novel materials and to advance science in general as well as to optimize functional materials in order to make use of them for future applications.

The research work is integrated into the research program "From Matter to Materials and Life" of the Helmholtz Association. In this context the researchers at the Dresden High Magnetic Field Laboratory (HLD) are developing unique pulse-field technologies which find application both in the HLD user laboratories and in industry as well.


The institute works on the following topics:
