NovoMag

This collaborative research project implements new, transformative strategies for the design of novel magnetic materials, with special focus on sustainable materials containing earth-abundant and inexpensive elements. The project couples a strong experimental effort with recent theoretical advances in quantum modeling algorithms and software, data-mining techniques, and high-performance hardware to accomplish its objectives. Magnets play a crucial role in contemporary technologies, and this research focuses on the discovery of new Fe-Co-X phases with anisotropic structures, high magnetization, high Curie temperatures, high spin polarization and high magnetic anisotropy.
