AbstractCerium is the most abundant rare earth element. It can substitute for scarce rare earth elements in magnets and electronics. This research project will examine how materials with cerium can be made to produce stronger permanent magnets. In addition, new magnetic materials will be created with unusual electronic behaviors. New compounds will be made by combining cerium with other elements and by carefully controlling material and processing conditions. Understanding how these quantum materials fo
