Permanent magnets significantly contribute to renewable energy technologies based on their broad range of potential applications [1]. The relatively low abundance of rare-earth elements such as Nd and Sm motivates additional research into cost-effective hard magnetic materials by replacing Nd or Sm with more abundant rare-earth materials, such as Ce, Pr or La. With this contribution, we investigate the magnetic properties of Ce-substituted Nd-Fe-B [2] or Ce-Co permanent magnets utilizing X-ray absorption spectroscopy and X-ray magnetic circular dichroism. We will correlate how the system’s magnetic properties depend on Ce’s valence state.

We acknowledge the financial support through the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft within the framework of the CRC/TRR270 HoMMage (Project 405553726-TRR270), the BMBF (05K2019 and 05K2022), and we thank the ESRF for allocation of beamtime at the beamline ID12 within project HC-4051.
