Brief description of past and current activities
Frank de Boer obtained in 1969 the doctors degree on a Ph.D. thesis in experimental physics, mainly based on the investigation of magnetic properties of metallic materials in high magnetic fields, and became a member of the scientific staff of the Natuurkundig Laboratorium that later became a constituting member of the WZI. In 1969, he became strongly involved in a semi-theoretical description of the stability of metallic alloy systems from an atomistic point of view. At the same time, the experimental investigation of the fundamental electronic and magnetic properties of intermetallic compounds based on rare-earth and/or transition metals, remained the most important part of the research programme of his group. In 1974, he became assistant group leader in the Materials Division of the Dutch Science Foundation FOM which, besides the universities, supplies essential support to the physics research in the Netherlands. In 1985, he became associate professor (UHD), and group leader in the organization FOM. In these years, the search for and the study of novel magnetic materials with potential application, for instance hard-magnetic materials for application in the production of permanent magnets, obtained a central position in the research programme. This application-oriented programme, in which later also high-magnetoresistance materials, applicable for instance in recorder heads, were investigated, was carried out in close co-operation with Philips Research Labs, Eindhoven, and with a number of other institutions in Europe, the United States, China and Japan. In 1992, De Boer became full professor of Technical Physics with specialization in Materials Science. At present, his research interests are focussed on the thermodynamics of alloy formation and on topics in the field of magnetism, primarily on magnetization processes in high magnetic fields, on hard-magnetic materials and on materials exhibiting a large magnetocaloric effect.
