Neodymium magnet with video to describe it's ?

neodymium magnet (also known as NdFeBNIB or Neo magnet), the most widely used type of rare-earth magnet, is a permanent magnet made from an alloy of neodymiumiron and boron to form the Nd2Fe14tetragonal crystalline structure. Developed in 1982 by General Motors and Sumitomo Special Metals.

 Neodymium magnets are the strongest type of permanent magnet commercially available. They have replaced other types of magnets in the many applications in modern products that require strong permanent magnets, such as motors in cordless tools, hard disk drives and magnetic fasteners.


The tetragonal Nd2Fe14B crystal structure has exceptionally high uniaxial magnetocrystalline anisotropy (HA~7 teslas - magnetic field strength H in A/m versus magnetic moment in A.m2). This gives the compound the potential to have high coercivity (i.e., resistance to being demagnetized). The compound also has a high saturation magnetization (Js ~1.6 T or 16 kG) and typically 1.3 teslas. In 2011, ARPA-E awarded 31.6 million dollars to fund Rare-Earth Substitute projects.
