Abstract

Magnetic fields obtained by discharging a large capacitor bank through Helmholtz coils can be produced in excess of 25 T for relatively short periods of time, ~ 1 msec and longer. When combined with modern facilities for diffraction at modern neutron and synchrotron x-ray sources, one can study the structure and phase diagrams of new materials under extremes of magnetic field. I will present two such studies, each focussing on a new magnetic material which exhibit exotic low temperature states. I will show time-resolved neutron Laue diffraction on the multiferroic magnet MnWO4 [1], and time-resolved synchrotron x-ray studies of large magneto-elastic effects in the geometrically-frustarted pyrochlore magnet Tb2Ti2O7 [2], both in magnetic fields up to ~ 30 T. Such studies of new materials in extreme sample environments can be very revealing as to the nature of their exotic low temperature states.
