One of the most important scientific problems to solve for our modern society is how to convert and store clean energy. In order to accomplish a paradigm shift in this field we need to understand the fundamental dynamical processes that govern the transfer of energy on an atomic scale. For future energy devices like solid-state batteries (SSB) as well as solid-oxide fuel cells (SOFC) this...

Permanent magnets are responsible for the inter-conversion between energy in the form of electricity and motion. Therefore development of improved permanent magnets is paramount for a sustainable future.
In recent years the world market for high performance permanent magnets has been dominated by neodymium rare-earth magnets, but unfortunately rare-earth minerals are found only in few...
