Magnetic materials play a crucial role in a wide range of applications, including memory devices, filters, and electric motors. However, their integration with semiconductors remains a significant challenge, as does the precise control of their properties through complex synthesis methods that are often inconsistent or environmentally harmful. This talk will explore current and emerging research in engineering both permanent (NdFeB, MnAlCu, e.g.) and soft magnets (YIG, e.g.) using techniques such as grain boundary engineering and ion implantation to enable integration, tunability, and size reduction. Additionally, it will address the urgent need for a robust domestic magnet materials infrastructure in the U.S. to support the growing demand for electric vehicles, spintronic RF and optical components, and a secure rare-earth supply chain for research and manufacturing.
