Tailoring magnetic anisotropy by graphene-induced selective skyhook effect on 4f-metals

Abstract

From macroscopic heavy-duty permanent magnets to nanodevices, the precise control of the magnetic properties in rare-earth metals is crucial for many applications used in our daily life. Therefore, a detailed...

Advancing Photoelectrochemical Systems: Unleashing the Remarkable Performance of In : SnO2/Nd4In5S13 for Sustainable Energy Applications

“…[24,25] Despite receiving less attention than transition metals with open d shells, one of the main rare earth ions, neodymium (Nd 3 + ), exhibits higher magnetism and anisotropy. [26] Additionally, neodymium is frequently employed in various devices such as fluorescent lighting, energy-saving lighting, colour televisions, and lighter flints. [27] Different morphologies of InS nanostructures, including nano-plates, nanotubes, hollow microspheres, and nano-rods, have been pursued through numerous attempts.…”

“…In recent times, the implementation of wide‐bandgap rare‐earth‐conjugated semiconductors has garnered considerable attention in endeavours aimed at generating new optoelectronic and spintronic apparatus, as documented in sources [24,25] . Despite receiving less attention than transition metals with open d shells, one of the main rare earth ions, neodymium (Nd 3+ ), exhibits higher magnetism and anisotropy [26] . Additionally, neodymium is frequently employed in various devices such as fluorescent lighting, energy‐saving lighting, colour televisions, and lighter flints [27] …”
