Abstract

Neutron diffraction has been invaluable in the characterization of intermetallic magnetic phases due to the unique properties of the neutron and the availability of high performance powder diffractometers that allow large numbers of samples to be investigated. The structural data derived from these studies serves as fundamental input for theory, and constraints on analyses of data from other methods, such as Mossbauer spectroscopy. The empirical structure-property relations derived from these studies serves to guide synthesis of new compounds and may help to define the next generation of high performance permanent magnets.
