MULTI-MEGAGAUSS SPECTROSCOPY IN THE VISIBLE AND INFRARED WAVELENGTH RANGE

The 60 kV 225 kJ single-turn coil equipment, which recently went into full operation in Berlin, was succesfully applied to spectroscopical i nvestigations in the visible and infrared wavelength range, respective ly. For the first time fields above 200 T are routinely available for reproducible series of experiments in a useful volume of about 1 cm(3) , without sample destruction. Faraday rotation as well as cyclotron re sonance experiments in multi-megagauss fields on different semiconduct ors are presented as examples of the efficiency of the field generator as a scientific instrument.
