Funded Activity Summary

Insight and understanding in Rare-Earth magnetism. Today's technologically driven society relies on magnetic materials to an extent unimaginable even as recently as 20 years ago. Rare-earth transition-metal intermetallics are among the most important magnetic materials, providing the World's strongest magnet with extensive applications. Despite these impressive technological and commercial developments numerous aspects of rare-earth magnetism remain to be developed and resolved. The two innovative topics we shall research are the critical interplay between the rare-earth and transition-metal sublattices in ternary compounds, enabling us to understand complex compounds, and exploration of a set of quaternary compounds we have recently discovered, thus opening new areas of rare-earth magnetism.
