This article reviews the physics and technology of producing large quantities of highly spin-
polarized He 3 nuclei using spin-exchange (SEOP) and metastability-exchange (MEOP) …

This review article is devoted to studies of the structure and properties of Fe–Ga alloys that
serve as functional materials with high magnetostriction. Particular attention is paid to …

Enhanced magnetostriction in iron-rich Fe–Ga alloys has been attributed to a
heterogeneous nanostructure with tetragonal inclusions, although direct experimental …

Magnetostriction of ferromagnetic materials describes the change of their shape or
dimension in response to the reorientation of magnetization under the influence of external …

Local chemical ordering (LCO) can exert pronounced effects on both structural and
functional properties, tailoring LCO domains at (sub-) nanoscale could offer an alternative …

The stress-induced reorientation of the low-symmetry defects due to substitution atom pairs
can give rise to an internal friction peak (Zener relaxation) and the first-nearest-neighbor …

Large and sensitive magnetostriction (large strain induced by small magnetic fields) is highly
desired for applications of magnetostrictive materials. However, it is difficult to …

The discovery of a tenfold increase in magnetostriction of Fe by alloying nonmagnetic Ga
was a breakthrough in magnetostrictive materials. The large magnetostriction is attributed to …

The D33 small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) instrument at the Institut Laue–Langevin
(ILL) is the most recent SANS instrument to be built at the ILL. In a project beginning in 2005 …

Up to now, the formation mechanism of tetragonal nanoprecipitates that may dominate the
large magnetostriction of Fe–Ga alloys remains unclear. Here we found that both L6 0-and …
