项目摘要

PART I: NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARYThis project focuses on investigation of itinerant magnets, a unique class of materials used in societally important clean-energy technologies, including electric vehicles, wind turbines, and magnetic refrigerators. Early studies offered understanding of magnetism in simple metals -- iron, cobalt, and nickel. Currently, however, the state of knowledge and theoretical tools available to materials scientists affords insight into magnetic behavior of more complex intermetallic systems, consisting of two or more elements. This project, supported by the Solid State and Materials Chemistry program in the Division of Materials Research, will combine advanced theoretical methods with experimental studies of itinerant magnets. Chemical synthesis, applied pressure, and high magnetic fields will be used to trigger changes in magnetic behavior. A detailed analysis of the changes observed will establish how itinerant magnets respond to variations in their crystal and electronic structures. The outcome of these studies will be improved understanding of itinerant magnets for the design of advanced magnetic materials to be used in clean-energy technologies and other applications. The diversity of theoretical and experimental tools employed in this project will provide unique research training for graduate and undergraduate students, who will become proficient in solid state chemistry, materials synthesis and characterization, and quantum-chemical calculations. For broader outreach, the project PI will also organize nationwide undergraduate summer schools in magnetism and magnetic materials.PART II: TECHNICAL SUMMARYItinerant magnetism has been a fascinating area of research in condensed-matter physics for many decades. Currently, however, such magnetic systems are receiving renewed attention from solid-state chemists, due to the broader availability of theoretical tools for investigation of electronic structure and improved insight into peculiarities of chemical bonding in the solid state. This project aims to uncover correlations between the nature of magnetic ordering and chemical bonding in itinerant magnets by exploring the interplay between the crystal and electronic structure and magnetic properties as a function of chemical substitution, applied pressure, or magnetic field. One aspect of the project will focus on complex transition metal pnictides, with an emphasis on effects of pressure and light-induced excitations that may lead to drastic changes in metallic behavior. The project will also investigate behavior of spin-frustrated systems with metallic or strongly covalent bonding. These studies target the next level of complexity in the spin-frustrated systems, where the addition of itinerant magnetic behavior can lead to the discovery of exotic spin textures and unconventional spin dynamics. The proposed research activities will provide versatile training to graduate and undergraduate students in materials synthesis, investigation of structural and magnetic properties, and studies of the electronic band structure. Undergraduate students and students from underrepresented groups will be involved in the project, both as researchers and through participation in national undergraduate summer schools in magnetism and magnetic materials organized by the PI. This project is supported by the Solid State and Materials Chemistry program in the Division of Materials Research.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

第一部分：非技术摘要该项目重点研究流动磁铁，这是一种独特的材料，用于社会重要的清洁能源技术，包括电动汽车、风力涡轮机和磁性冰箱。早期的研究让我们了解了简单金属（铁、钴和镍）的磁性。然而，目前，材料科学家可用的知识和理论工具的状态可以深入了解由两种或多种元素组成的更复杂的金属间化合物系统的磁性行为。该项目由材料研究部的固态和材料化学项目支持，将先进的理论方法与巡回磁体的实验研究相结合。化学合成、施加压力和高磁场将用于触发磁行为的变化。对观察到的变化进行详细分析将确定流动磁体如何响应其晶体和电子结构的变化。这些研究的成果将加深对巡回磁铁的理解，用于设计用于清洁能源技术和其他应用的先进磁性材料。该项目采用的理论和实验工具的多样性将为研究生和本科生提供独特的研究培训，他们将精通固态化学、材料合成和表征以及量子化学计算。为了更广泛的推广，项目负责人还将组织全国范围内的磁性和磁性材料本科生暑期学校。第二部分：技术摘要几十年来，巡回磁性一直是凝聚态物理研究的一个令人着迷的领域。然而，目前，由于用于研究电子结构的理论工具的更广泛可用性以及对固态化学键特性的深入了解，此类磁性系统正在重新受到固态化学家的关注。该项目旨在通过探索晶体和电子结构以及磁特性之间的相互作用作为化学取代、施加压力或磁场的函数，揭示流动磁体中磁有序性质和化学键之间的相关性。该项目的一方面将重点关注复杂的过渡金属磷化物，重点是压力和光诱导激发的影响，这可能导致金属行为发生巨大变化。该项目还将研究具有金属键或强共价键的自旋受阻系统的行为。这些研究的目标是自旋受阻系统的下一个复杂性水平，其中增加巡回磁行为可以导致发现奇异的自旋纹理和非常规的自旋动力学。拟议的研究活动将为研究生和本科生提供材料合成、结构和磁性研究以及电子能带结构研究方面的多功能培训。本科生和来自代表性不足群体的学生将作为研究人员以及通过参加由 PI 组织的磁性和磁性材料国家本科生暑期学校参与该项目。该项目得到了材料研究部的固态和材料化学项目的支持。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
