Abstract:
The magnetostrictive materials exhibit a strain caused by the orientation of the magnetic moment when exposed to a magnetic field. A particular class of magnetostrictive materials is called magnetic shape memory (MSM) alloys or ferromagnetic shape memory alloy (FSMA) materials [1]. In this talk I will first describe the essentials of MSM alloys and of the magnetic shape memory effect and will give some practical examples of magnetic shape memory functionality. After that I will discuss the key properties of the MSM materials controlling the functionality and summary of the recent scientific development. A short overview will be given at the end of the seminar on the newly launched MATFUN project [2] at CU, which deals with MSM materials in its large part.
