Reaction sintering as a high-throughput approach for magnetic materials development

Experimental high-throughput approaches based on diffusion couples in reaction crucibles recently have been successfully introduced in the research of magnetic materials. However, sometimes this method is limited out of thermodynamic and kinetic reasons, e.g. when melting point reduction does not occur. Liquid and solid state reaction sintering is an advanced powder based approach suited for (1) discovering novel phases, (2) verifying and specifying phase equilibria in systems with existing information and (3) realization of phases difficult to obtain by conventional metallurgy. Therefore, reaction sintering delivers significant contribution for accelerated materials discovery and development in the research of magnetic materials.
