Introduction

The Synergetic Extreme Condition User Facility is a key construction project identified in the Medium- and Long-Term Plan for National Major Science and Technology Infrastructure Facilities (No. 8 〔2013〕 of the State Council) as a priority for the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period. As an internationally advanced user experimental facility integrating extreme conditions such as ultra-high pressure, extremely low temperature, intense magnetic fields, and ultrafast optical fields, it aims to expand the research horizons of material science, facilitate the discovery of new states of matter, phenomena, and laws, and propel China to achieve world-class status in material science and related frontier research areas. The facility strives to attain international leading research achievements in areas such as the discovery of new high-temperature superconductors, breakthroughs in unconventional superconductivity mechanisms, advancements in core quantum computing technologies, and ultrafast manipulation of physical properties.

The legal entity for the Synergetic Extreme Condition User Facility is the Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. The co-construction partner is Jilin University, while key collaborating institutions include Peking University, Tsinghua University, and the Institute of Electrical Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences. The facility project occupies approximately 180 mu (approximately 130 mu in Huairou District, Beijing, and 50 mu in Changchun City, Jilin Province), with a building area of 54,000 square meters (approximately 48,000 square meters in Huairou District, Beijing, and 6,000 square meters in Changchun City, Jilin Province).

Area of Structure

"The facility (Beijing part) is located in Huairou District, Beijing, situated in the core area of the Beijing Huairou Comprehensive National Science Center, at the foot of the majestic Great Wall and beside the beautiful Yanqi Lake. Construction of the facility began in September 2017, and it was the first national major science and technology infrastructure project to commence construction in Huairou Science City. On July 3, 2020, the facility's infrastructure construction completed its final acceptance and record-filing. In the same year, in October, the facility's campus was put into use and entered a scientific research state.

In January 2022, some of the experimental stations of the facility were the first to transition into trial operation. Starting from March 2023, all experimental stations of the facility were fully put into trial operation, with 20 of them being open and shared with users from both domestic and international communities."

The facility (Beijing part) has achieved individual extreme conditions such as an ultra-low temperature of 1 mK, an ultra-high pressure of 300 GPa, a superconducting magnet with a strong magnetic field of 26 T, and an ultra-fast optical field of 100 as (attoseconds). It has also reached comprehensive extreme conditions including a magnetic field/temperature value of 10,000 T/K, a magnetic field/pressure/temperature value of 2,800 T·GPa/K, a pressure/temperature value of 60,000 GPa·K, and an ultra-fast optical pulse width of no more than 200 fs (femtoseconds) at 4.2K. These conditions provide various research means for material preparation, physical property characterization, quantum manipulation, and ultra-fast dynamics processes under comprehensive extreme conditions.

The comprehensive extreme conditions experimental facility is divided into four scientific experimental platforms based on research directions: the "Physical Property Characterization Platform," the "Quantum Manipulation Platform," and the "Ultra-Fast Dynamics Characterization Platform," all constructed in Beijing, as well as the "High-Temperature, High-Pressure, and Large-Volume Material Research Platform" constructed in Jilin. The three experimental platforms in Beijing can promote in-depth research across various fields, interconnect, support each other, and integrate comprehensively to provide advanced and fully functional experimental conditions for conducting comprehensive material science research under extreme conditions. The experimental platform in Jilin builds upon the existing foundation of high-pressure scientific research and closely integrates with the related advantageous disciplines of material science at Jilin University to develop means for the preparation and characterization of high-temperature, high-pressure, and large-volume materials.
