In condensed matter physics, the Slater–Pauling rule states that adding an element to a metal alloy will reduce the alloy's saturation magnetization by an amount proportional to the number of valence electrons outside of the added element's d shell. Conversely, elements with a partially filled d shell will increase the magnetic moment by an amount proportional to number of missing electrons.
