Magnetic shape memory alloys (MSMAs) are a new and rapidly develo** class of smart
materials. These alloys demonstrate significant strain (from 6% to 12%) under an external …

Owing to the worldwide growth of aging population, the biomedical materials, such as
implantation materials, are greatly demanded in these decades. Shape memory alloys …

Elasticity, featured by a recoverable strain, refers to the ability that materials can return to
their original shapes after deformation. Typically, the elastic strains of most metals are well …

Using surface acoustic waves (SAW) the elastic properties of 500 nm thick epitaxial off-
stoichiometric Ni-Mn-Ga films prepared by sputtering on MgO substrate were determined in …

The link between microstructure and mechanical properties is investigated for a superelastic

We report on the observation of fully reversible magnetic-field-induced strain of 6% in a
single-crystalline micropillar fabricated from a bulk Ni 50 Mn 28.5 Ga 21.5 single crystal. Xe …

Abstract Ni-Mn-Ga-based magnetic shape memory (MSM) alloys are renowned for their
large magnetic-field-induced strains, making them attractive for compact magnetically …

The combination of enlarged magnetic coercivity and magnetic shape memory (MSM)
functionality is essential for novel magnetomechanical effects in MSM alloys. We found that …

Abstract Single crystalline Ni-Mn-Ga is well known as a prototype ferromagnetic shape
memory alloy (FSMA) exhibiting a giant magnetic field-induced strain (MFIS), up to 12%, due …
