Abstract
In solid state physics, materials containing rare earth ions have been and still are a playground for many experimental and theoretical studies, and a good part of all the efforts are investigations of various types of phase transitions observed in these substances. These materials, no doubt, owe their interesting properties to a usually localized, unfilled 4f shell of the rare earth ions and, depending on the material, the interaction of those ions with neighbouring ions, the lattice and/or conduction electrons.
