Intrinsically weak magnetic anisotropy of cerium in potential hard-magnetic intermetallics

Abstract Cerium-based intermetallics are currently attracting much interest as a possible alternative to existing high-performance magnets containing scarce heavy rare-earth elements. However, the intrinsic magnetic properties of Ce in these systems are poorly understood due to the difficulty of a q...
