Rare-Earth Borides

Dmytro S. Inosov graduated from the National Technical University of Ukraine in 2002. In 2005, he joined the Leibniz Institute for Solid State and Materials Research in Dresden, Germany, where he studied electronic properties of high-Tc superconductors with photoelectron spectroscopy. He earned his PhD on this topic in 2008 from the Technical University of Dresden. After that, he switched to neutron spectroscopy as he worked at the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research in Stuttgart. He returned to Dresden in 2013 to become junior professor for neutron spectroscopy at the Technical University of Dresden and was promoted to associate professor with tenure in 2019. His research focuses on the investigations of magnetic materials using neutron scattering and complementary experimental methods, with emphasis on strongly correlated electron systems, superconductors, quantum magnetism, frustrated magnetic systems, and spin dynamics in f-electron compounds. His publication list exceeds 100 peer-reviewed articles, including publications in top journals such as Nature, Nature Physics, Nature Materials, Nature Communications, Physical Review Letters, Physical Review X, and others, with the total number of citations exceeding 4000.

"This book provides an excellent overview of the multifarious aspects of the physics and chemistry of rare-earth borides, a unique class of materials that harbors an unusually rich variety of exotic phenomena. The authors succeed in presenting a remarkably complete survey and bring to the forefront the current understanding of the many intriguing properties, linking them to the entangled interplay of crystal structure and electronic states."~Prof. Peter M. Oppeneer, Uppsala University, Sweden"This compilation of superb reviews and up-to-date research on rare-earth borides provides a timely and extensive resource to a wide range of researchers working in the field. With a large and diverse range of structures, compounds, and phenomena, the rare-earth boride family has provided the community with an enormous range of novel properties, including lattice and spin dynamics, correlated electron physics, multipolar orders, and non-trivial topological properties, making this collection an invaluable resource to both interested and expert researchers."~Prof. Johnpierre Paglione, University of Maryland, USA
