Professor Gschneidner's research activity has been primarily concerned with the physical metallurgy of rare-earth metals and alloys, theory of alloy phase formation, electronic transformations of cerium, spin fluctuations in exchange enhanced solids, heavy fermions, superconductivity, magnetic refrigeration, and passive and active magnetic regenerator materials. He is author, or coauthor of numerous journal articles (394), chapters in books ( 131), reports and bulletins (28), phase diagram evaluations (204), and written or edited books (42) about these subjects. He holds fourteen patents (plus six pending) for metallurgical or ceramic processes, and for magnetic refrigeration and cryocooler regenerator materials.
Dr. Gschneidner has served as an invited speaker at numerous national (56) and international (39) conferences and seminars (164) on rare-earth materials, on the theory of alloy formation and on magnetic refrigeration. He has served on several government advisory committees and panels, and is a member of several editorial boards of scientific journals. He is the senior editor of a series of volumes entitled the Handbook on the Physics and Chemistry of Rare Earths (36 volumes have been published and one is in press).
