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

TL;DR: In this article, the structure and properties of polycrystalline Ni-Mn-In Heusler alloy have been studied after a plastic deformation by upsetting, and the analysis of the alloy microstructure after upsetting at a temperature of 773 K leads to the conclusion that many macrocracks are initiated in the sample.

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.
