title: Mesoporous Magnetic Materials Based on Rare Earth Oxides.
abstract: A novel family of mesoporous oxides of rare earth metals (Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu) were synthesized with specific surface areas of 253-348 m(2) g(-1) and pore diameters of 2.5-3.0 nm (see Scheme). The mesoporous solids and their surfactant mesophase precursors are paramagnetic and exhibit a magnetic anomaly due to the mesostructured atomic arrangement.
