Implementation of specific-heat and NMR experiments in the 1500 ms long-pulse magnet at the Hochfeld-Magnetlabor Dresden

We report on the design and successful testing (up to 55 T) of a 60 T long-pulse (LP) magnet with a pulse duration of 1500 ms at the Hochfeld-Magnetlabor Dresden. This magnet has the capability of producing magnetic fields with time and homogeneity characteristics suitable to host specific-heat and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments. We describe the development of a specific-heat probe for this magnet, which uses the quasi-adiabatic heat-pulse method and enables magnetocaloric-effect measurements. Furthermore, we report the implementation of a NMR setup, consisting of home-built probe and spectrometer. Both experimental devices were tested successfully in the LP magnet up to 31 and 44 T, respectively. (paper)
