Development of new Fe-based magnetic materials by controlling crystal structure

Research Project Outline

We aim to develop new Fe-based magnetic materials with high magnetocrystalline anisotropy for saving rare earth content in permanent magnets. To realize our objective, we study on the possibility for controlling crystal structure of materials by thin film technique, nanoparticle technology that uses substitutional or interstitional elements and composites, and high pressure synthesis. Phase equilibria in the systems are also clarified by First-principles calculations and thermodynamic analyses.
