TLDR
In this paper, a magnetic-field-induced strain of about 9.5% was observed at ambient temperature in a magnetic field of less than 1 T in NiMnGa orthorhombic seven-layered martensitic phase.Abstract:
Giant magnetic-field-induced strain of about 9.5% was observed at ambient temperature in a magnetic field of less than 1 T in NiMnGa orthorhombic seven-layered martensitic phase. The strain proved to be caused by magnetic-field-controlled twin boundary motion. According to an analysis of x-ray diffraction data, the crystal structure of this phase is nearly orthorhombic, having lattice parameters a=0.619 nm, b=0.580 nm, and c=0.553 nm (in cubic parent phase coordinates) at ambient temperature. Seven-layer shuffling-type modulation along the (110)[110]p system was recorded. The results of mechanical tests and magnetic anisotropy property measurements are also reported.read more

Magnetic-Field-Induced Effects in Martensitic Heusler-Based Magnetic Shape Memory Alloys
TL;DR: The magnetic field triggers the changes of shape caused by either inducing the structural transition or rearranging the martensite variants as discussed by the authors, which is the best known functionalities of magnetic shape memory alloys.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the mesoscopic twin boundaries of epitaxial Ni-Mn-Ga films from the atomic to the macroscale and found that mesoscopic boundaries are broad and diffuse, in contrast to the common atomically sharp twin boundaries.

6% magnetic-field-induced strain by twin-boundary motion in ferromagnetic Ni–Mn–Ga
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple model accounts quantitatively for the dependence of strain on magnetic field and external stress using as input parameters only measured quantities, and the strain versus field curves exhibit appreciable hysteresis associated with the motion of the twin boundaries.
