An analysis of ferromagnetic shape memory alloys produced by melt spinning, sputtering and pulsed laser deposition

Ferromagnetic shape memory alloys (FSMA) have recently attracted much interest and research because of their large magnetic-field induced strain. Strains of up to 10% have been reported in single crystals of Ni2MnGa at room temperature. The mechanism of twin boundary motion is understood to be respo...
