History

High-field Station is established as a division of National Research Institute for Metals, Science and Technology Agency.

Superconducting Materials Research Multi-core Project, Phase II (Science and Technology Agency) "Development of a 1GHz-class NMR magnet" starts.

Sharing activity starts.

920 MHz (21.6 T) high-resolution NMR magnet is developed.

The first NMR building is completed at the Sakura site.

The second NMR building is completed at the Sakura site.

930 MHz (21.9 T) high-resolution NMR magnet is developed.

Probe-Kobo Ltd. (NIMS venture #06) is established.

The Great East Japan Earthquake occurs. Many NMR magnets in the station are severely damaged.

Nano-Technology Platform initiative (MEXT) starts.

1,020 MHz (23.5 T) high-resolution NMR magnet is developed.

NIMS-JEOL Measurement Technology Center is established.

NIMS-JEOL Measurement Technology Laboratory starts (Renewal of NIMS-JEOL Measurement Technology Center).

NMR Station starts.

April: Suspension of services due to the COVID-19 pandemic

We gradually resumed shared use starting in May and returned to normal operations from June.

April: Participation in the MEXT Program "Materials Advanced Research Infrastructure for Materials & Nanotechnology" (ARIM).

A new program was launched under a framework that, in addition to the conventional sharing of equipment, also covers the sharing of data. NMR station has also joined this program.

April: Launch of remote access to the 500 MHz high-resolution NMR system.

Supported by the Cabinet Office’s PRISM program, the NMR system with remote operation capabilities has started providing remote access.

March: The contract for the NIMS-JEOL Measurement Technology Laboratory expires.

March: The MEXT "Nanotechnology Platform Program" ends.

April: The ARIM Program commences full-scale operations.

April: Solid-State NMR Group and High Field Charaterization Unit (NMR Team) established.

March: 800 MHz narrow-bore NMR magnet (spectrometer) upgraded.
