CMI researchers from Oak Ridge National Laboratory conducted the activity for this highlight
Innovation
New critical element free high-performance magnet material.
Achievement
Development of new critical element free Fe-alloy with magnetic properties sufficient for high performance magnet – i.e., potential BHmax approaching 40 MG-Oe.
Significance and Impact
Novel critical-element-free permanent magnet material employing domestic, abundant, inexpensive Ce for generation of magnetic anisotropy, rather than critical Nd/Dy.
Hub Target Addressed
Accelerated discovery and deployment of new permanent magnets.
