Abstract
Recent trends and activities in high field magnetism mainly developed at the Osaka University are reviewed. A short history of the high-field facilities in Osaka is given as an introduction; the first-stage facility, the High Magnetic Field Laboratory of the Faculty of Science since 1975, and the second stage development, the Research Center for Extreme Materials since 1988, are presented. The scientific activities and main results are summarized in five sections: (1) Field-induced magnetic phase transitions; (2) High-field properties of high Tc superconductors; (3) Magneto-optics with non-linear Zeeman effects; (4) Diamagnetic orientation of organic molecules and polymers; (5) High-field electron spin resonance.
