The increasing technological importance of rare earth based magnetic and quantum materials is attracting the attention of scientists from all over the world. We have great challenges ahead in terms of experimental synthesis and characterization as well as fundamental theoretical and computational understandings of these materials. We present here a systematic theoretical and computational research, on rare earth-based materials for permanent magnet and magneto-response, performed over the years by developing and employing advanced density functional theory and finite-temperature magneto-thermodynamic models.
