Characterization of Commercial Materials for Pulsed Field Magnet Applications
ORAL
Abstract
High magnetic fields are a valuable tool for understanding many different material properties, often requiring specialized probes tailored to each experiment. With the continued expansion of experimental capabilities at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory-Pulsed Field Facility at Los Alamos National Laboratory, the demand for miniature probe parts on which to conduct these experiments has increased. We have investigated several commercially available materials for their use in pulsed field up to 100T and as low as 0.5 K. We characterize their thermal and mechanical properties to assess their suitability for precision machining, resistance to thermal cycling, and overall viability for low temperature, high field environments.
