JEOL-backed study identifies rare-earth-free ferromagnets MoMn2B2 and WMn2B2 for potential permanent magnets

• Jeol announced results from a multi-institution study published in Angewandte Chemie International Edition on rare-earth-free permanent magnet candidates.
• Research reported new Mo₂FeB₂-type borides, MoMn₂B₂ and WMn₂B₂, showing ferromagnetism above room temperature.
• Findings position the materials as potential alternatives to rare-earth magnets, a key strategic input for EVs, wind, industrial motors.
• The paper was named an Angewandte “Hot Paper,” signaling high impact in the field.
• Work cited use of Jeol’s JEM-ARM200F NEOARM atomic-resolution analytical electron microscope.
