The High Magnetic Field Characterization Unit supports research activities by developing advanced measurement technologies utilizing superconducting magnets and nuclear magnetic resonance magnets, while ensuring a stable supply of liquid helium to researchers at NIMS. One of the key instruments under our management, the “Physical Property Measurement System,” is an advanced device designed to automatically measure fundamental physical properties crucial for material evaluation under high magnetic fields, which is up to 16 tesla, the highest level among general-purpose physical property measurement instruments. It also features exceptional expandability, offering a wide range of optional equipment to enable the measurement of various physical properties. To accurately interpret the meaning of the data, it is crucial to have a deep understanding of the sample’s characteristics and the principles behind the measurement. Leveraging broad research experience in magnetic materials, superconductors, and semiconductors, I collaborate with researchers to propose the most optimal approaches. I place great value on maintaining a curious mindset and continuously learning the latest insights.
