Indentation techniques have been extensively used for mechanical characterisation of
materials. Development of instrumented indentation techniques at low and ultra low load …

Magnetic shape memory (MSM) alloys or ferromagnetic shape memory alloy (FSMA)
materials discovered by Ullakko et al (1996 Appl. Phys. Lett. 69 1966–8) have received …

Simultaneous experimental determination of magnetization reversal M= M (H, σ) and
magnetic-field-induced strain ε= ε (H, σ) as a function of magnetic field, H, and external …

Textured polymer bonded composites were prepared from polyester resin and Ni–Mn–Ga
magnetic shape memory (MSM) particles. Single-crystalline MSM particles∼ 60μm in …

This article is concerned with the modeling of the magnetic shape memory alloy (MSMA)
constitutive response caused by the reorientation of martensitic variants under mechanical …

We report that both a strain glass transition and a ferromagnetic transition take place in a Ni
43 Co 12 Mn 20 Ga 25 Heusler alloy. This results in a ferromagnetic strain glass with …

Giant magnetically induced strain up to 50 times larger compared to the strain of giant
magnetostriction was observed in some Heusler alloys, particularly in Ni–Mn–Ga. In analogy …

When a magnetostrictive material is set in the magnetic field it strains while its magnetic
moments reorientate. The present review focuses on the ferromagnetic Magnetic Shape …

Scanning electron microscopy is widespread in field of material science and research,
especially because of its high surface sensitivity due to the increased interactions of …

We study the effects of disorder on a system of two coupled chains of strongly correlated
fermions (the ladder system), using a renormalization-group technique. The stability of the …
