Crystal spacing predicts magnetic states in complex alloys better than electron count

TL;DRCrystal spacing, not electron count, better predicts magnetism in complex metal mixtures.
Why it matters: Could accelerate discovery of new magnetic materials for computing and energy storage.
In materials chemistry, identifying common parameters that can organize magnetic ground states across complex intermetallic compounds remains a central challenge. Researchers have long used chemically tunable parameters to control magnetic properties. One is valence-electron…
