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.

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.
