Abstract
SOME aspects of the theory of magneto-resistance in metals can best be tested in very high magnetic fields at low temperatures1. We are therefore extending magneto-resistance measurements at helium temperatures to field-strengths of approximately 150,000 oersted. Such fields can only be produced at reasonable cost by employing Kapitza's technique2 of short field pulses. De Haas and Westerdijk3 have shown that much improved efficiency results from cooling the magnet coil in liquid helium or hydrogen, and this has been discussed in detail by one of us4.
