Magnetic materials represent a key component in the industry. One of the most common and used magnetic material parameters is magneto-crystalline anisotropy, which takes place in permanent magnets, storage devices, etc. In addition, magnetoelastic behavior is widely used in many applications, such as acoustic actuators, transducers, or sensors, providing desirable fast response and high...
The La-Ni-Sn compounds are considered promising candidates for future hydrogen-storage applications. Some phases from the La-Ni-Sn system have been insufficiently studied so far, and some critically important data are missing. We have, therefore, employed quantum-mechanical calculations combined with experiments to assess the stability of several La-Ni-Sn-H materials. Our study covers (i)...
