Pulsed Field Facility
The Pulsed Field Facility is one of three campuses of the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL). Located in the center of LANL in the Experimental Hall, it is the first and only high pulsed field user facility in the United States. It is includes five buildings with over 75,000 square feet. It has a $30 million pulsed power infrastructure with a 1.43 gigawatt motor generator, five 64-megawatt power supplies and a 1200-ton motor generator.
The NHMFL-PFF houses both semi-destructive and non-destructive magnets, including the most powerful non-destructive magnet in the world, a 100 tesla multi-shot magnet, which jointly developed by the DOE and the National Science Foundation. In August 2006, the NHMFL-PFF created world record magnetic field of 100 tesla.
The facility's magnets include:
- 50 tesla mid pulse
- 50 tesla short pulse
- 65 tesla short pulse
- 60 tesla short pulse
- 60 tesla short pulse
- 300 tesla single turn magnet system
- 100 tesla multi-shot
- 60 tesla long pulse
- 20 tesla superconducting magnet
- 17 tesla superconducting magnet
Support and collaborative facilities include a machine shop dedicated to the Mag Lab, the Metallurgy and Materials Synthesis Laboratory, the Superconducting Technology Center, the Center for Integrated Nano-Science and the LANL Research Library.
