High throughput (combinatorial) materials science methodology is a relatively new research
paradigm that offers the promise of rapid and efficient materials screening, optimization, and …

Magnetic shape memory alloys (MSMAs), both in condensed matter physics and in material
science, are one of the most extensive research subjects. They show prompt response to the …

The magnetic and structural transformations in the Heusler-based system Ni 0.50 Mn 0.50−
x In x are studied in the composition range 0.05⩽ x⩽ 0.25. While the cubic phase is …

Writing a book on smart materials bears a certain semblance to purchasing a high-end
laptop—due to rapid advances in the field, it is tempting to postpone the decision every six …

This work investigates an additive manufacturing route of producing functional net shaped
parts from pre-alloyed magnetic shape-memory Ni-Mn-Ga powders. Three types of Ni-Mn …

Applying a magnetic field to a ferromagnetic Ni 50 Mn 34 In 16 alloy in the martensitic state
induces a structural phase transition to the austenitic state. This is accompanied by a strain …

It is shown that the alloys Co2Ni1− xGa1+ x, x= 0.06, 0.09, 0.12, 0.15, are ferromagnetic
shape memory alloys. In the as-solidified state their martensite start temperatures vary in the …

A systematic study of the magnetic properties and both the temperature-and magnetic-field-
induced structural transformations in the Ni50− xCoxMn39Sn11 (0⩽ x⩽ 10) multifunctional …

Exploration of new ferroic (ferroelectric, ferromagnetic or ferroelastic) materials continues to
be a central theme in condensed matter physics and to drive advances in key areas of …
