Abstract

Single shot x-ray diffraction (XRD) experiments have been performed with a x-ray free electron laser (XFEL) under pulsed high magnetic fields up to 16 T generated with a nondestructive minicoil. The antiferromagnetic insulator phase in a perovskite manganaite, Pr_0.6Ca_0.4MnO₃, is collapsed at a magnetic field of ≈ 8 T with an emergence of the ferromagnetic metallic phase, which is observed via the accompanying lattice changes in a series of the single shot XRD. The feasibility of the single shot XRD experiment under ultrahigh magnetic fields beyond 100 T is discussed, which is generated with a portable destructive pulse magnet.
