Specific objectives of the 2013 phase:
 

1. Soft magnetic phases with high magnetization values.
   
   
2. Hard magnetic phases with low rare earth content of the R-M-A type (R=rare earth, M=3d transition metal, A=metalloid) with high anisotropy and coercivity.
   
   
3. Hard/soft nanocomposites with good coercivity and with remanence values higher than those of the hard phases.
