This research examines intermetallic compounds showcasing large magnetoresistance (MR) values through single crystal measurements. The MR is defined as ( MR% = frac{ho_H - ho_0}{ho_0} times 100% ). Focused on materials synthesized in our laboratory, the study highlights crystals such as Ln GdNiSb2 and Ho4PtGa12. The project is led by Julia Chan at Louisiana State University under NSF CAREER award DMR 0237664, emphasizing the education and outreach of underrepresented minority students in materials chemistry, involving both graduate and undergraduate participants.
