  The next generation light sources require development of the insertion devices with shorter periods and higher peak field values, well beyond the presently available designs limited by magnetic properties of conventional materials. Dysprosium (Dy) is a rare earth metal with unique ferromagnetic properties below 90 K, including saturation inductance above 3.4 Tesla. However, due to the high magnetic anisotropy of Dy, such a high level of magnetization can only be realized when the external field lies in the basal plane. This requirement is partially satisfied in the textured dysprosium presently under development at RadiaBeam and BNL. Textured Dy development status is discussed, as well as potential applications as field concentrators in the insertion devices, with particular emphasis on the next generation of cryogenically cooled short period hybrid undulators.
