Structural and magnetic properties of bulk nanocrystalline Erbium metal

Bulk nanocrystalline Erbium metals were prepared via Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) and subsequent annealing process. The nanocrystalline Er metals have the same hexagonal close packed structure as that of coarse-grained sample. Decrease in grain size results in remarkable changes in the three magneti...
