Magneto-optical Spectroscopy with RAMBO: A Table-Top 30 T Magnet

Optically probing materials in high magnetic fields can provide enlightening insight into field-modified electronic states and phases, while optically driving induce novel nonequilibrium many-body dynamics of spin charge carriers. While there are high-field magnets compatible with standard optical spectroscopy methods, they generally bulky have limited access, which prohibit performing state-of-the-art ultrafast and/or nonlinear experiments. The Rice Advanced Magnet Broadband Optics (RAMBO), a unique 30-T pulsed mini-coil magnet system direct has enabled previously challenging experiments using femtosecond pulses, including time-domain terahertz spectroscopy, cutting-edge placed strong fields. Here, we review recent experimental advances made possible by the first-generation RAMBO setup. After summarizing technological aspects combining spectroscopic techniques magnet, describe results magneto-optical studies wide variety materials, providing new four types quasiparticles solids - excitons, plasmons, magnons, phonons
