Chris Patrick and colleagues have published an article in Physical Review Letters which has been highlighted by the editors as an Editors' Suggestion.

"Theory of defect-induced crystal field perturbations in rare-earth magnets" by Christopher E. Patrick, Yixuan Huang, Laura H. Lewis, and Julie B. Staunton, Phys. Rev. Lett. 132, 056703 (2024), https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.132.056703

The article presents a first-principles method which quantifies the effect of defects on macroscopic properties so that the magnetic anisotropy energy of rare-earth systems is accurately described.
