Abstract

The metal–insulator transition is one of the most fascinating phenomena in condensed-matter physics and has attracted much attention from researchers. It has recently been discovered that W-doped vanadium dioxide (V1−xWxO2) exhibits a magnetic-field-induced insulator–metal transition in a very high magnetic field of 500 T. Electromagnetic flux compression (EMFC) is essential for experiments involving this kind of ultrahigh magnetic field. Experimental findings regarding the field-induced insulator–metal transition in V1−xWxO2 are summarized including new experimental results for pure VO2, and a possible mechanism of the phase transition is discussed. The technical details required for EMFC experiments are also introduced. Promising research themes in ultrahigh magnetic fields of up to 1000 T are proposed as future prospects for ultrahigh magnetic field research at the Institute for Solid State Physics (ISSP).
